Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1-methylcyclohexyl)methanol (4.98 g, 38.80 mmol) and tert-butyl 5-chloro-2,4-difluorobenzoate (20.67 g, 83.10 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (80 mL) was added cesium carbonate (25.14 g, 77.20 mmol). The mixture was heated to 70° C. and stirred for 16 hours. The mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature, filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth and the solid was washed with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine; dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (0% to 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the title compound (6.26 g, 44%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.87 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 6.62 (d, J=12.2 Hz, 1H), 3.70 (s, 2H), 1.57 (s, 9 H), 1.52-1.31 (m, 10H), 1.08 (s, 3H).
