Procedure
Aluminum chloride and tert-butyl chloride were added under ice-cooling to 2-fluorophenol and stirred at room temperature. By adding water to the reaction liquid, concentrating the organic layer under a reduced pressure and crystallizing from hexane, 4-tert-butyl-2-fluorophenol was obtained.
