Procedure
A mixture of 1-bromomethyl-4-chloro-2-methoxy-benzene (705 mg), morpholine (0.52 mL, 6 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) was heated to 110° C. for 2 hours. The solution was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to provide 675 mg (93%) of the title compound. MS (ESI) m/e 242 (M+H)+.
