Reaction Steps

To a degassed DMSO (20 mL) solution of imidazole (1.0 g, 15 mmol) was added 4-fluoro-2-bromoanisole (1.25 mL, 10 mmol), KOH (1.12 g, 20 mmol) and Cu2O (280 mg, 2 mmol) under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was stirred at 140° C. for 24 hrs under N2. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was poured into ethylacetate (EA) (50 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was washed with water (50 mL×3) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After rotary evaporation, the crude oil was purified via column chromatography on silica gel with eluent of EA/MeOH (9/1, v/v), affording a light yellow liquid (47%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ(ppm) 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.21 (m, 1H), 7.17 (m, 1H), 7.07 (m, 2H), 7.00 (m, 1H), 3.84 (s, 3H).
