The reaction mixture was returned to atmospheric pressure, diluted with EtOAc, washed with H2O, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. N-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)acetamide (4b) was isolated as a white solid that was pure based upon LCMS analysis and used without further purification. Potassium carbonate (810 mg, 5.34 mmol) was added to a solution of tetrabutylammonium iodide (78.9 mg, 0.534 mmol), 3-(chloromethyl)-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (5a, 197 mg, 1.07 mmol), and N-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)acetamide (4b, 211 mg, 1.18 mmol) in 20 ml of acetonitrile. The reaction mixture was heated to 150° C. in the microwave for 1 h, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with 5-50% EtOAc/DCM gradient to afford the desired product 6a (196 mg, 56%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 2.15 (s, 3 H), 2.28 (s, 6 H), 3.93 (s, 3 H), 4.83 (s, 2 H), 7.02 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (s, 1 H), 7.17 (s, 2 H), 7.89 (dd, J=8.4, 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 8.12 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 9.94 (s, 1 H); LCMS: (electrospray+ve), m/z 328.2 (MH)+, tR=3.16 min, UV254=>95%. N-(4-(5-formyl-2-methoxybenzyloxy)-3,5-dimethylphenyl)acetamide (6a, 145 mg, 0.441 mmol), 2-amino-N-(furan-2-ylmethyl)benzamide (3b, 105 mg, 0.486 mmol), and 0.2 equiv of Yb(OTf)3 in 5 ml of EtOH were heated at 80° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was chromatographed on silica-gel using 7-60% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give the desired product 7a (40.9 mg, 0.078 mmol, 17.6% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 2.15 (s, 3 H), 2.21 (s, 6 H), 3.77 (d, J=15.7 Hz, 1 H), 3.84 (s, 3 H), 4.41 (s, 1 H), 4.70-4.87 (m, 2 H), 5.35 (d, J=15.7 Hz, 1 H), 5.78 (s, 1 H), 6.20 (d, J=2.9 Hz, 1 H), 6.24-6.32 (m, 1 H), 6.53 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1 H), 6.76-6.91 (m, 2 H), 7.03 (br. s., 1 H), 7.13 (s, 2 H), 7.30-7.37 (m, 2 H), 7.49 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.92-8.03 (m, 1 H); LC/MS (electrospray+ve), m/z 526.2 (MH)+, Retention time t=5.71 min; Purity: UV220>98%, UV254>98%; HRMS (ESI): m/z calcd for C31H31N3O5 [M+H]+526.2351, found 526.2350.
