Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution at ambient temperature under N2 of 4-(N-(3,5-difluorobenzyl)aminooxymethyl)-2-(2-methylphenyl)benzoic acid methyl ester (254 mg, 0.640 mmol), prepared as in Example 1176 C, in DMF (2 mL) was added potassium carbonate (265 mg, 1.92 mmol) and 1-iodobutane (0.146 mL, 1.28 mmol). Reaction stirred vigorously at 80° C. overnight. Reaction diluted with EtOAc and washed with water and brine. Organic layer dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 7% EtOAc/Hexanes to 30% EtOAc/Hexanes to afford the desired product. (44 mg, 15%). m/e (ESI) 454 (MH+)
