Reaction Steps

6-{2-[5-Chloro-2-(hydroxy)-phenyl]-cyclopent-1-enyl}-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (97 mg, 0.30 mmol) was refluxed in 2-butanone (4 mL) with 4-chlorobenzyl bromide (140 mg, 0.70 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.0 g) under nitrogen for five hours. The reaction mixture was then filtered through highflo, evaporated down to an oil and chromatographed on a Water's sep-pak (10 g) with ether/iso-hexane (15/85) to give (160 mg, 92%).
