Ethanol (1760 μl) and sodium carbonate (176 μl, 0.352 mmol) were added and the mixture was reacted in a microwave reactor at 100° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (eluant: 9:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to provide methyl 5′-fluoro-2′-nitrobiphenyl-2-carboxylate (37a, 54.8 mg, 0.199 mmol, 56.6% yield).
