Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of 3-[2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-2-methyl-morpholin-4-yl]-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (1.07 g; 3.33 mmol), and 3-iodo-o-xylene (0.97 g; 4.16 mmol) in DMSO (20 mL) was added picolinic acid (82 mg; 0.67 mmol), CuI (63.4 mg; 0.33 mmol) and powdered (1.41 g; 6.66 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated for 24 h, at 90° C. After cooling to room temperature, brine was added and the mixture extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, Et2O/hexanes 1:1) to afford 3-{2-[4-(2,3-dimethyl-phenoxy)-phenyl]-2-methyl-morpholin-4-yl}-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (1.32 g).
