Ethyl Acetate → 3-Fluoro-4-{1-[6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-heptyloxy}-benzoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine 1-[6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-3-yl]-heptan-1-ol (0.050 g, 0.15 mmol) and 3-fluoro-4-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.030 g, 0.18 mmol) in toluene (0.5 mL). Add 1,1′-(diazocarbonyl)dipiperidine (0.057 g, 0.23 mmol) followed by tributyl-phosphine (0.06 mL, 0.23 mmol) under inert atmosphere. Stir at room temperature for 16 hours. Dilute reaction with ethyl acetate filter and remove solvent under reduced pressure. Purify on silica gel chromatography (0-40% ethyl acetate/hexane gradient) to provide 0.04 g of title compound (57%).
