Cesium carbonate → (1S,2S)-2-(4-{(R)-7-Fluoro-4-[4-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-butoxy)-phenoxy]-indan-1-yloxy}-phenyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

(1S,2S)-2-{4-[(R)-7-Fluoro-4-(4-hydroxy-phenoxy)-indan-1-yloxy]-phenyl}-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (Intermediate 7, 47 mg, 0.10 mmol), toluene-4-sulfonic acid 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-butyl ester (Intermediate 10, 54 mg, 0.21 mmol), and cesium carbonate (107 mg, 0.21 mmol) are suspended in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) and stirred overnight. The mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried and the solvent removed. The residue is purified by flash chromatography (gradient of ethyl acetate in cyclohexane) to give the title compound. (Yield 60 mg). LC (METHOD 6): tR=0.75 min; Mass spectrum (ES+): m/z=535 [M+H]+.
