Reaction Steps

To a suspension of NaH (909 mg/22.7 mmol) in THF (50 ml) was added 3-(tritylamino)-1-propanol, and the solution was stirred at reflux temperature for 2 hours. To the solution was added α,α′-dibromo-o-xylene, and the solution was stirred at reflux temperature for 16 hours. After cooling, the mixture was poured into water. The whole was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (30 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 200-350 mesh/hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0-20:1) to afford a yellow oil (4.84 g/51%).
