Reaction Steps

A solution of 184 mg (1.0 mmol) of 4-methyl-2'-hydroxy-1,1'-biphenyl (Example 12, Step C) in 3 mL of dimethylformamide was treated with 55 mg of 60% sodium hydride (33 mg NaH, 1.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes then treated with 169 mg (1.19 mmol) of 1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene. The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, poured into 50 mL of water and the resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl ether. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum. The residue was chromatographed on silica, eluting with hexanethyl acetate (10:1) to give 271 mg (0.89 mmol,88%) of the product. FAB-MS: calculated for C19 H15NO2 305: found 306 (M+H). 1H NMR (200 MHz,CDCl3): δ 2.28 (s,3H), 6.82 (d,2H), 7.19 (d,3H), 7.2-7.5 (m,5H), 8.05 (d,2H).
