Participants

Reaction Steps

Add acetyl chloride (0.67 mL, 9.41 mmol) to a solution of 6-hydroxy-1-(4-(2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethoxy)phenoxy)naphthalen-2-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate (2.4 g, 4.69 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (2.45 mL, 14.05 mmol). Stir the mixture for 1 hour and then quench with aqueous sodium bicarbonate. Extract the mixture 3 times with dichloromethane.
