In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 168971-68-4 as follows. Product Details of 168971-68-4

n-Butyl lithium (6.17 mL, 9.87 mmol) was added drop-wise at -78 C. to a solution of 1-bromo-2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (2.13 g, 8.22 mmol) in diethyl ether (16.5 mL). The reaction was stirred for 30 minutes before drop-wise addition of N-methoxy-N-methylacetamide (1.272 g, 12.34 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 5 minutes at -78 C. then warmed to room temperature and stirred for 30 minutes. The solution was quenched with saturated NH4Cl, extracted with EtOAc, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash silica gel chromatography, eluting with 10% EtOAc in heptanes provided 1-(2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)ethanone as a clear oil (1.118 g, 61%)

According to the analysis of related databases, 168971-68-4, the application of this compound in the production field has become more and more popular.
