Reaction Steps

(S)-Methyl 2-(6-((2′,6′-dimethyl-4′-(piperidin-4-yloxy)biphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 4a (20 mg, 0.04 mmol) was dissolved in 2 mL of dichloromethane, followed by addition of acetic anhydride (5 mg, 0.05 mmol) and triethylamine (12 mg, 0.12 mmol). The reaction solution was stirred for 2 hours. The resulting solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by TLC with elution system A to obtain the title compound (S)-methyl 2-(6-((4′-((1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)oxy)-2′,6′-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate 6a (10 mg, yield 47.0%) as a colorless oil.
