Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (1.30 g, 9.41 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 2-(bromomethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (2.00 g, 5.90 mmol) obtained in Example (2-2) and 4-iodophenol (1.30 g, 5.91 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml) under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate (three times). After the organic layer was successively washed with water (three times) and a saturated aqueous NaCl solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, it was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=100/1-50/1) to give tert-butyl 2-[(4-iodophenoxy)methyl]-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate as a colorless solid (2.65 g, yield: 94%).
