Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared in a similar manner as described for Intermediate 1f, from 4-fluorophenyl methyl sulfone (180 mg, 1.03 mmol), Cs2CO3 (630 mg, 1.93 mmol), and 4-hydroxy-benzofuran-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (8a) (199 mg, 0.97 mmol). Purification by flash column chromatography eluting with 15% EtOAc in hexanes gave a pale yellow oil (261 mg, 75% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.13 (s, 1 H) 7.91 (s, 2 H) 7.74 (s, 1 H) 7.65 (s, 1 H) 7.13 (s, 2 H) 6.66 (s, 1 H) 4.41 (s, 2 H) 3.08 (s, 3 H) 1.42 (s, 3 H); LCMS for C18H1606S m/z 383.00 (M+Na)+.
