Reaction Steps

Dissolve the compound of Example 50 (240 mg, 0.48 mmol) in dimethylformamide (DMF, 7 mL), add sodium ethanethiolate (EtSNa, 100 mg, 1.19 mmol). Flush the flask with N2 and then heat the reaction mixture to 150° C. Continue to heat the reaction mixture for 0.5 hours, cool to room temperature. Add water (15 mL), and extract the aqueous layer with CH2Cl2 (3×15 mL). Combine the organic layers and dry with Na2SO4, filter, concentrate and purify by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 0-8% MeOH—NH4OH (10/1, v/v) in CH2Cl2) to give 140 mg of crude 6-benzo[b]thiophen-5-yl-5-[4-(2-piperidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-phenoxy]-naphthalen-2-ol. Purify the impure product by preparative HPLC (Gilson) to give 95 mg of the title compound (55%): mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=496.3 (M+H-TFA).
