Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-hydroxy-2′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-carboxylate (5.03 g), anhydrous potassium carbonate (7.05 g, 51 mmol) and bromoethane (6.35 mL, 85 mmol) was prepared in anhydrous ACN (75 mL) and heated at 50° C. for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled at RT, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. After purification by flash chromatography (silica, EtOAc/heptane), the title was obtained as a colorless oil (4.45 g, 79% over 2 steps). HPLC (Method A), Rt 5.3 min (purity: 99.0%). LC/MS (Method B): 325.0 (M+H)+.
