Procedure

To a solution of 3-(3-Hydroxy-phenyl)-2-methyl-2-phenoxy-propionic acid ethyl ester (Isomer 2) (43 mg, 0.143 mmol,) and Toluene-4-sulfonic acid 2-[3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(4-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-imidazolidin-4-yl]-ethyl ester (Isomer 2) (72 mg, 0.157 mmol) in DMF (1 ml) at 23° C. is added Cs2CO3 (61 mg, 0.186 mmol) and the suspension heated at 55° C. for 7 hours. The mixture is cooled, filtered, and the filter cake washed with DMF (10 ml). The filtrate is poured into 1N HCl (35 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 ml). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (25 ml), brine (20 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to an oil. Purification by flash chromatography on a Biotage silica cartridge (gradient elution, 4:1 hexanes:acetone to 1:1 hexanes:acetone) provided an oil, (72 mg, 87%) (diastereomer 4).
