Hydrolysis of 3-bromobenzonitrile (I) by means of sodium perborate leads to amide (II). Subsequent Suzuki coupling of 3-bromobenzamide (II) with 3-methoxyphenylboronic acid (III) furnishes the biphenyl compound (IV). The methyl ether group of (IV) is then cleaved employing BBr3 to yield phenol (V). This is finally coupled with cyclohexyl isocyanate (VI) to produce the title carbamate.
