22. Obtained by NBS bromination of 5-decyloxy-2-(4-decyloxyphenyl)toluene, which was prepared by Suzuki coupling of 2-bromo-5-decyloxytoluene with 1 equiv. of 4-decyloxyphenylboronic acid analogous to the synthesis of 39 (Scheme 4) (ref. 18).
23. Obtained by NBS bromination of 3,5-bis(4-dccyloxyphenyl)toluene, which was prepared by Suzuki coupling of 3,5-dibromotoluene with 2 equiv. of 4-decyloxyphenylboronic acid, analogous to the synthesis of 2,5-bis(4-dccyloxyphenyl) benzyl bromide (ref. 15).
