Procedure

(Nakamoto, Kazutaka; Tsukada, Itaru; Tanaka, Keigo; Matsukura, Masayuki; Haneda, Toru; Inoue, Satoshi; Ueda, Norihiro; Abe, Shinya; Hata, Katsura; Watanabe, Naoaki, WO 2005033079 (2005)). A mixture of 4-cyanophenol (11.91 g, 100.0 mmol), K2CO3 (55.20 g, 400.0 mmol), and 3-fluorobenzylbromide (22.68 g, 120.0 mmol) were heated in acetone (400 mL) at reflux (5 h). The volatiles were evaporated and the residue was diluted in CH2Cl2 (300 mL), and then washed with H2O (500 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo to give white needles (19.81 g, 87%): Rf=0.45 (hexanes/EtOAc 9/1); mp 104-105° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 5.11 (s, CH2O), 6.98-7.20 (m, 5 ArH), 7.33-7.41 (m, 1 ArH), 7.59 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2 ArH); HRMS (M+Na+) (ESI+) 250.0641 [M+Na+] (calcd for C14H10NONa+250.0641).
