Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,2-dimethylchroman-7-ol (100 mg, 0.561 mmol), tert-butyl 4-(bromomethyl)-5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate (191 mg, 0.590 mmol) and potassium carbonate (194 mg, 1.40 mmol) in acetone (30 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 16 hrs. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (150×5 mL). The combined orgaic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude product which was used in next step without further purification (290 mg, crude). LCMS (ESI) m/z: 420.8 [M+H].
