A mixture of the phenol (4.4 g, 17.12 mmole) of Step B, powdered anhydrous potassium carbonate (2.37 g, 17.12 mmole), 18-crown-6 (0.453 g, 1.71 mmole) and acetonitrile (38 mL) is stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 15 minutes. 2-Chloromethylquinoline (3.34 g, 18.83 mmole, free base freshly prepared from the hydrochloride salt) is added and the mixture is refluxed for 10 hours. (TLC, 7:3 hexane-ethyl acetate). A 10% excess of potassium carbonate, 18-crown-6 and the chloromethylquinoline is added and reflux continued for another 4 hours. The solvent is removed and the residue is diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3x). The extracts are washed and dried (MgSO4). The residue is flash chromatographed (on silica Merck 60, preabsorbed in dichloromethane and eluted in order of increasing polarity with 7:3, 1:1 and 1:3 hexane-ethyl acetate followed by pure ethyl acetate) to provide the pure title compound (2.59 g). Recrystallization from toluene yields a yellow solid, m.p. 160°-162° C. (2.05 g, 30%).
