Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-{[2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]thio}benzoate (129 mg, 0.447 mmol), N-benzyl-2-bromo-N-hexylacetamide (154 mg, 0.492 mmol) and potassium carbonate, anhydrous (93 mg, 0.671 mmol) were mixed in acetonitrile (10 ml). The mixture was heated to reflux overnight and then evaporated to dryness. Water and ethyl acetate were added into the residue. The two phases were separated. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried with magnesium sulphate and then evaporated. Chromatography of the residue on a column (ISOLUTE® SI, 2 g/6 ml) using ethyl acetate/heptane (10:90, then 25:75) as eluant gave 208 mg the desired product, yield 89.5%.
