Reaction Steps

4-bromo-2-fluorophenol (2.557 g, 13.39 mmol) and (bromomethyl)benzene (1.590 ml, 13.39 mmol) in DMF (20 ml) were treated with K2CO3 (3.70 g, 26.8 mmol) overnight. The reaction was then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to provide the title compound. LCMS (APCI) m/e 282 (M+H).
