Reaction Steps

4-(3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl)benzonitrile (1.5 g, 4.9 mmol) was added to a mixture of carbonate (6.3 g, 19.6 mmol) and DMF (100 mL) at RT under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 30 min upon which 2-(chloromethyl)-3,5-dimethylpyridine (1.14 g, 7.3 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at 80° C. for 4 h (the reaction was monitored by TLC). The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc; the combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography using 22% ethyl acetate in n-hexane and silica gel (230-400 mesh) to afford 4-(3-(4-((3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl) (0.70 g, 35%) as yellow solid. 1H NMR, 200 MHz, CDCl3: δ 7.45-6.8 (Ar, 11H), 4.9 (d, 1H), 4.6 (d, 1H), 3.75 (s, 3H), 3.2 (d, 2H) 3.1 (q, 1H), 2.5 (q, 1H) 0.95 (t, 6H). MS: [M+H]+: m/z=425.2. HPLC: (96.3%, Condition-A).
