Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(4-iodo-phenyl)-methanesulfonamide (0.45 g, 1.52 mmol) from Step A, 4-methoxyphenol (0.28 g, 2.28 mmol), Cs2CO3 (0.99 g, 3.04 mmol), N,N-dimethylglycine HCl salt (31.8 mg, 0.23 mmol) and CuI (14.5 mg, 0.076 mmol) in dioxane (4 mL) under N2 was heated to 100 C overnight. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc and brought to the usual work-up. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica gel, 30% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the desired product. MS (EI) 294 (M+H)+.
