Procedure
A mixture of 2,4-difluoro-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester (30 g, 140.05 mmol) and (S)-2-methoxy-1-methyl-ethylamine (100 mL) was stirred at 65° C. for 2 days. A saturated solution of NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 times). The organic phase was washed twice with water then with brine, dried over sodium sulfate filtered and evaporated to dryness to obtain a crude, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with exane/ethyl acetate 9:1. The title compound (33.38 g, 84%) was obtained as oil.
