Procedure: 2-Bromo-4-nitro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-benzene was dissolved in EtOAc, purged with nitrogen, and a catalytic amount of Pd on Carbon added. The solution is purged a number of times, then left to stir overnight under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The solution is filtered through Celite and concentrated yielding the desired product in quantitative yield. LC Rt=1.852 min. MH+=270.0 purged with nitrogen a catalytic amount of Pd on Carbon added The solution is purged a number of times left The solution is filtered through Celite concentrated

Conditions: temp:90.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 3-Bromo-4-fluoronitrobenzene (1.0 eq) was added to a stirring solution of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (1.1 eq) and potassium carbonate (2.0 eq) in DMF. The solution was heated for 18 hours at 90° C. at which time no starting material was apparent by LCMS. The solution was cooled and filtered through Celite and the plug washed with EtOAc. The organic layer is then washed with brine and water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to yield the desired product 97% pure, 80% yield. LC Rt=2.975 min. MH+=302.0 The solution was cooled filtered through Celite the plug washed with EtOAc The organic layer is then washed with brine and water dried over MgSO4 filtered concentrated
