Procedure

3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-phenoxypropionic acid ethyl ester (300 mg, 1.0 mmol), toluene-4-sulfonic acid 2-(2-cyclohexyl-5-methyl-oxazol-4-yl)-ethyl ester (386 mg, 1.06 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (423 mg, 1.3 mmol) were combined in anhydrous DMF (7 mL) and stirred for 16 h at 55° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The mixture was then cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to a viscous yellow oil. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (100 g silica, 60×15 mL fractions, gradient elution 0-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to provide the ethyl ether compound as a colorless oil (177 mg, 28%).
