Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-[4-(2,3-difluorophenoxy)-butoxy]-tetrahydropyran (20) (1 equi.) and commercially available para-toluenesulfonic acid (21) (0.1 equi.) in methanol:THF (1:1) (3 mL/mmole), water (0.005 equi.) was added at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at that temperature for 24 h, quenched with water, extracted with ethyl acetate:hexane (1:1), washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (10% EtOAc/hexanes) gave 4-(2,3-difluorophenoxy)-butan-1-ol (22), as a white solid (84%).
