A flask was charged with tert-butyl 2-(3-cyano-4-fluorophenyl)acetate (9.410 g, 40.00 mmol), methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (7.303 g, 48.00 mmol), K2CO3 (6.634 g, 48.00 mmol), and DMSO (160 mL). The mixture was heated to 90° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 17 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and poured into a mixture of EtOAc (250 mL) and 10% K2CO3 solution (250 mL). The resulting insoluble residue was dissolved in water and added to the EtOAc-aqueous mixture. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour and layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc, and the combined extracts were washed with saturated K2CO3, water, and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered through a Celite pad, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 14.7 g of crude product as an oil. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography to provide methyl 4-(4-(2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2-cyanophenoxy)benzoate (11.6 g, 79%) as a white solid.
