The combined ether extract was dried in vacuo, and the residue was extracted with methylene chloride, dried, and filtered. Removal of solvent left a residue which was crystallized from hot heptane. The solid was treated with 23 gm. (0.15 mol) of Girards Reagent T. in 230 ml. ethanol and 23 ml. acetic acid. After refluxing for 2 hours, the solution was cooled, made alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution, and extracted with methylene chloride, dried, and filtered. Removal of solvent left 75.4 gm. of the product, 1 (2-pyridyl)-1-(3-trifiuoromethylphenyl) 2-phenylethanol. The product was found not to contain the carbonyl group by infrared analysis.
The product was converted to the hydrochloride salt with gaseous hydrogen chloride in ethanol. The hydrochloride salt of 1-(2-pyridyl)-1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)- 2-phenylethanol after recrystallization from isopropanol had a melting point of 197-200 C., and the following elemental analysis.
