The mixture was heated and after stirring at 100° C. for 10 minutes, it was cooled and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with water, aqueous saturated sodium carbonate solution and then brine, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography using petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (8/2) as eluent to give 5-benzyloxy-2-fluoro-4-methylaniline (3.65 g, 87%).
