Potassium Carbonate → Tert-butyl 5-chloro-4-((7,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yloxy)methyl)-2-fluorobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl 4-(bromomethyl)-5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate (200 mg, 0.62 mmol), 7,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol (109 mg, 0.62 mmol) and potassium carbonate (257 mg, 1.86 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 4 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated and purified by SGC (eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate from 100/1 to 25/1) to get the desired compound (220 mg, 85%).
