Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 180 mg of the phenol from Step E in 5 mL of DMF were added 124 mg of milled K2CO3 followed by 150 mg of 2-(bromomethyl) quinoline. The mixture was stirred at R.T. for 18 h, poured onto 25% aq. NH4OAc and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness to give an oil which was chromatographed on flash silica gel using ethyl acetate:hexane (30:70) as eluant to give the title compound as a foam.
