Procedure
Following the general method as outlined in Intermediate 20, starting from (4-chloro-2-ethynyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid tert-butyl ester (Intermediate 3) and 2-iodo-1-methyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)benzene (Intermediate 114), the title compound was obtained as a brown sticky solid in quantitative yield after purification by flash column chromatography (silica), eluting with cyclohexane containing increasing amounts of EtOAc.
