Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole (33.18 g, 105 mmol), 4-fluorobenzylalcohol (26.6 g, 211 mmol), cesium carbonate (68.6 g, 211 mmol), cuprous iodide (2.0 g, 11 mmol) and 1,10-phenanthroline (3.8 g, 21 mmol) in toluene (52 mL) was heated at 100° C. in an autoclave for 48 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered and poured into sodium hydroxide (1N). The resulting mixture was extracted with toluene and the organic extracts washed with brine, dried and evaporated. The residue was triturated with boiling hexane to leave the title compound (24.7 g, 75%) as a light brown solid. MS: m/e 314.1 (M++H).
