1-Bromo-3-chloropropane → 5-heptyl-2-[4-(3-(3-(2-(2-(nonafluorobutoxy)tetrafluoroethoxy)-2,2-difluoroethoxy)-(S)-2-fluoropropoxy)propoxy)phenyl]pyrimidine

Reaction Steps

The starting material, 3-(3-(2-(2-(nonafluorobutoxy)tetrafluoroethoxy)-2,2-difluoroethoxy)-(S)-2-fluoropropoxy)propyl chloride, was prepared by combining 3-(2-(2-(nonafluorobutoxy)tetrafluoroethoxy)-2,2-difluoroethoxy)-(S)-2-fluoropropanol (20 g, 39.4 mmol) and 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (18.6 g, 118 mmol). The resulting compound (2.0 g, 3.4 mmol) was then combined with 5-heptyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyrimidine (0.9 g, 3.4 mmol) in acetonitrile/dimethyl formamide (1:1, 20 mL) using essentially the procedure of Example 8 of International Patent Publication No. WO 96/33251. The resulting crude product was further purified by chromatography, eluting with 30:1 toluene/ethyl acetate, followed by Kugelrohr distillation (180-90° C. at 0.01 torr; yield 0.96 g).
