Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[3-benzyl-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]phenol (2.65 g, 7.0 mmol), methyl 3-bromobenzoate (3.01 g, 14.0 mmol), CuO (1.01 g, 12.6 mol), and K2CO3 (1.93 g, 14.0 mmol) in dry pyridine (17.5 mL) are heated under nitrogen at 120° C. for 48 h. The cooled reaction is diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with ether (2×100 mL). The dried (MgSO4) extracts are concentrated to a dark oil which is chromatographed on silica gel using 20:80 ethyl acetate:hexane as eluent isolating the title compound as a colorless tacky solid (Rf˜0.3, 1.53 g). MS (ESI) m/z 514; HRMS: calcd for C31H22F3NO3+H+, 514.16245; found (ESI, [M+H]+), 514.1638.
