Reaction Steps

In a similar manner as described in step 6 of Example 1, the title compound was prepared from 6-(1-benzyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-naphthol (0.140 g, 0.373 mmol), prepared in the previous step, 3-phenyl-2-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxypropionic acid methyl ester (0.175 g, 0.560 mmol) and cesium carbonate (0.243 g, 0.746 mmol). Purification on a Biotage FlashElute™ system with a KP-Sil Flash 40+M column (90 g Silica Gel, 60 Å) using 20% to 50% methylene chloride in hexane as the eluent gave methyl 2-{[6-(1-benzyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-naphthyl]oxy}-3-phenylpropanoate as a white solid (0.175 g, 88%), mp 57–62° C. Elemental Analysis for C37H31NO3 Calc'd: C, 82.66; H, 5.81; N, 2.61. Found: C, 82.39; H, 5.88; N, 2.46.
