Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To an oven-dried round bottom flask was added toluene (1 mL), the product of Step D of Example 114 (0.050 g; 0.134 mmol); 1-(4-flourophenyl)ethanol (0.070 mL; 0.536 mmol), and cesium carbonate (0.218 g; 0.670 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. and stirred for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, then it was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 2N aq. NaOH solution. The organic portion was separated and washed with more 2N aq. NaOH solution (2×), brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification was done by MPLC (silica gel; 0-10% ethyl acetate:hexane) to afford 0.051 g of the desired product: m/e=355 (M-1-(4-flourophenyl)ethyl group) Rt=4.9 min on LCMS.
