The reaction mixture was then poured into EtOAc/THF (3:1) and washed with saturated brine. The organic layer was separated, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel; gradient: 0% to 35% MeOH in dichloromethane containing a few drops of aq. NH3) to afford (RS)-1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethanol (12.0 g, 76%) as a brown oil. MS (ISP): 280.0 ([{81Br}M+H]−), 278.0 ([{79Br}M+H]+).
