Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)-3-fluorophenol (0.32 mmol; 85 mg) in dry acetone (3 mL), under argon, were added potassium hydroxide (0.39 mmol; 54 mg), NaI (0.065 mmol; 10 mg) and N-(3-bromopropyl)phtalimide (0.40 mmol; 107 mg). The reaction was stirred 3 days at 50° C. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, hydrolysed with NH4Cl sat. (5 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3*3 mL). Combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo. The title compound (75 mg; 0.17 mmol; 51%) was obtained as an oil, after purification by preparative TLC (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate: 7/3).
