Reaction Steps

In a similar manner as described in step 1 of Example 7, the title compound was prepared from 6-{5-phenyl-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-yl}-2-naphthol (0.300 g, 0.676 mmol), prepared in the previous step, 3-phenyl-2-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxypropionic acid methyl ester (0.317 g, 1.02 mmol) and cesium carbonate (0.441 g, 1.35 mmol). Purification on a Biotage Horizon™ system with a KP-Sil Flash 40+M column (100 g Silica Gel, 60 Å) using 25% to 65% methylene chloride in hexane as the eluent gave methyl 3-phenyl-2-[(6-{5-phenyl-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-yl}-2-naphthyl)oxy]propanoate as an off-white amorphous solid (0.367 g, 90%), mp 50–55° C. Elemental Analysis for C38H30F3NO3 Calc'd: C, 75.36; H, 4.99; N, 2.31. Found: C, 75.24; H, 5.16; N, 2.22.
