Procedure

To a solution of 4-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)thio-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine (1.8 g, 5.7 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) was added 2-benzyloxy-5-cyanophenol (1.3 g, 5.8 mmol) and cesium carbonate (2.2 g, 6.8 mmol). The resultant mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 12 hours. The mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature and poured into 100 mL of 0.5 M aqueous KOH solution and 100 mL of ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted twice further with 100 mL portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with 0.5 M aqueous KOH solution (200 mL), then brine (200 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford a yellow solid. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexanes afforded 2.4 g (82% yield) of 4-benzyloxy-3-[(4-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)thio-3,5,6-trifluoropyridin-2-yl)oxy]benzonitrile, a compound of formula (E), as a white, crystalline solid: NMR (CDCl3) 8.0 (m, 1), 7.5 (m, 2), 7.4-7.1 (m, 8), 6.8 (br t, 1), 5.2 (s, 2), 4.0 (s, 3) ppm.
