Reaction Steps

(R)-(2′,6′-Dimethyl-4′-((tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methanol 2c (143 mg, 0.48 mmol), methyl (S)-2-(6-hydroxyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate (100 mg, 0.48 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (189 mg, 0.72 mmol) were dissolved in 20 mL of dichloromethane. The reaction solution was cooled down to 0° C., followed by addition of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (146 mg, 0.72 mmol). The reaction solution was warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours. The resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with elution system B to obtain the title compound methyl 2-((S)-6-((2′,6′-dimethyl-4′-(((R)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)oxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 2d (201 mg, yield 85.9%) as a colorless oil.
