Procedure

4-Hydroxy benzaldehyde (1 equiv), 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzonitrile (1 equiv) and K2CO3 (2.5 equiv) in anhydrous DMF (0.2 M) were heated at 110° C. under nitrogen during 1 hour (the reaction can be monitored by tlc). After cooling down to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum (toluene was added to aid DMF evaporation). The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography using hexanes/ethyl acetate (4:1) as eluent.
