Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(3-hydroxphenyl)-5-cyanobenzofuran (125) (1.176 g, 5 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.829 g, 6 mmol) in dry DMF (25 mL) was heated up to 60° C. 4-(3-Bromopropoxy)benzonitrile (129) was added in one portion and the reaction was kept at 80-100° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled down to room temperature and poured into iced water (100 mL) and stirred for 30 min. A precipitate formed was separated by filtration, washed with water (50 mL) and ethanol (50 mL). Drying under high vacuum and recrystallization from the mixture of DMF and ethanol afforded the desired product as white solid (1.65 g, 84%): mp 157-158° C. (DMF/EtOH). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ8.24 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.86 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.77 (dd, J=8.6, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H), 7.55 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (m, 1H), 7.45 (dd, J=7.8, 7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.07 (dd, J=7.8, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 4.35-4.15 (m, 4H), 2.30-2.15 (m, 2H). HPLC (method B) tR 9.63 min (100.0 area %). Anal. (C25H18N2O3) C, H, N.
