The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature under argon atmosphere for 3 days. NaHCO3 (aq., sat, 25 ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (×3). The combined organic phase were dried over MgSO4 filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 4-(4-chloro-2,5-difluorobenzyl)morpholine (0.600 g, 43%) as a liquid.
