Cesium carbonate → HCID 131727231, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl-2-mercaptopropionate (31 mg, 0.29 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of 4-(3′-bromomethyl-biphen-3-yl)-dibenzofuran (100 mg, 0.24 mmol) and cesium carbonate (198 mg, 0.6 mmol) in 5 ml DMF. diluted with diethyl ether (30 mL) and washed with water (2×) and brine (3×). The ethereal solution was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the product by flash column chromatography, using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent, afforded the title compound; methyl-2-(3′-dibenzofuran-4-yl-biphen-3-ylmethylsulfanyl)-propionate, as a colorless oil (105 mg, 94).
