Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-amino-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-phenyl)-ethanone (300 mg, 1.8 mmol) and 3-[(4-Iodomethyl-phenyl)-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-methyl]-benzonitrile (865 mg, 2.0 mmol)) in anhydrous DMF (1.5 mL) under Ar gas at RT is added K2CO3 (303 mg, 2.2 mmol). The reaction mixture is heated at 50° C. overnight. The reaction mixture is quenched into water and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The organic layers are combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue is purified by flash chromatography using 25% EtOAc/hexane as eluent. Obtained is the title compound as a yellow foam (538 mg, 64%). LC-MS (m/e): 469 (M−1).
