“…The same procedure as in 2.3.1 using 2-bromophenol (6.28 g, 36.3 mmol), K 2 CO 3 (6.82 g, 49.3 mmol), and 4-methoxybenzyl bromide (7.29 g, 36.3 mmol) gave 18f (4.41 g, 81%) as red crystals, mp 84-87 • C; ν max /cm −1 2999, 2909, 2835, 2361, 1607, 1584, 1510, 1474, 1240, 1171, 1028, 826, 808, and 750; 1 H NMR (300 MHz): 7.54 (1H, dd, J = 7.9, 1.6 Hz, ArH), 7.38 (2H, d, J = 9.0 Hz, ArH), 7.26-7.16 (1H, m, ArH), 6.96-6.86 (3H, m, ArH), 6.82 (1H, td, J = 7.7, 1.4 Hz, ArH), 5.07 (2H, s, OCH 2 ) and 3.80 (3H, s, OCH 3 ); 13 19 F NMR (376 MHz): -118.9; HRMS (ESI + ) found 302.9788. C 13 H 10 BrFNaO (M + Na) requires 302.9797.…”
