The cold bath was removed and the mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stir for 30 min. A solution of 2,2-difluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (10.0 g, 46.7 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added and the resulting mixture was left to stir for 18 h. A solution of 2 N LiOH/water (40 mL, 80 mmol) was added to the crude reaction mixture and the resulting solution stirred at rt for 3 h. The reaction mixture was poured into 1 N HCl (250 mL) and extracted with Et2O. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was triturated with hexane. The crystalline solid was collected by vacuum filtration to afford 2-(4-(2,2-difluoroethoxy)phenyl)acetic acid (9.90 g, 45.8 mmol, 108% yield) as an off-white solid.
