Reaction Steps

A mixture of potassium carbonate (5.8 g), 5-(2-bromophenyl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazole (5.81 g) (obtained as described in Procedure A, step (ii)), water (43 ml), toluene (43 ml), and methanol (43 ml) was heated to 60° C. to give a clear solution. 4-[(2-Ethylquinolin-4-yloxy)methyl]phenylboronic acid hydrochloride (4.3 g) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.032 g) were added and the reaction mixture heated at reflux for 4 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool and further toluene (50 ml) added. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase extracted with toluene (2×50 ml). The combined organic phases were evaported and the resultant solid recrystallised from toluene to give 2-ethyl-4-[(2'-(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methoxy]quinoline (A) as a solid (4.3 g); m.p. and NMR similar to that of compound A of Procedure A, part (v).
