The resulting suspension was stirred at 90° C. for two hours then filtered through a pad of celite and the celite washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was diluted with H2O and extracted with EtOAc (3×70 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with aq. Na2CO3 (2×100 mL), brine (200 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 4-allyloxy-3-trifluoromethoxyaniline (1.6 g). The product was used in the subsequent Step without further purification.
