Reaktionsschritte

To 1.2 g (4.23 mmol) of 3-(4-cyano-phenoxy)-5-hydroxy-benzoic acid ethyl ester, dissolved in 10 ml of DMF, potassium carbonate 1.17 g (8.46 mmol) was added and stirred for 30 min at RT. 1.31 g (8.46 mmol) of 3-chloro-4-fluoro-benzonitrile, dissolved in 5 ml of DMF, was added dropwise to the reaction mixture during 15 min and final contents were stirred at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated, residue was dissolved in 200 ml of ethyl acetate and partitioned with water. The organic layer was washed with brine followed by of water. Organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was subjected to column chromatography, using silica-gel and eluted with hexane:ethyl acetate (8:2) to afford 1.4 g of pure product. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 1.3 (3H, t), 4.3 (2H, q), 7.2-7.36 (4H, m), 7.44 (2H, dd), 7.88 (3H, m), 8.26 (1H, d).
