TCI Practical Example: 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl Etherification Using 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl p-Toluenesulfonate
We are proud to present the 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl etherification of 4'-hydroxyacetophenone using 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl p-toluenesulfonate.

Procedure
-
To a solution of 4'-hydroxyacetophenone (1.0 g, 7.34 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was slowly added sodium hydride (60%, 353 mg, 8.83 mmol) at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl p-toluenesulfonate (2.24 g, 8.83 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred overnight at 130 °C. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), then the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (on silica gel, ethyl acetate:hexane = 0:1 - 15:85) to give 4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)acetophenone as a pale yellow solid (1.40 g, 87% yield).
