A Convergent Synthesis of AR-C123196 Utilising Reaction Between a Cyclic Carbonate and a Phenol for Aryl Alkyl Ether Formation

The development of a convergent synthesis of AR-C123196 is reported in which the alkyl aryl ether linkage was formed by nucleophilic attack of a phenolic hydroxyl group onto a cyclic carbonate. This approach was successfully operated on a multikilogram scale.
