Reaction Steps

4-Fluoroaniline (2.38 ml, 24.8 mmol) was added to a solution of ethyl 2-bromo-2-phenylacetate (4.34 ml, 24.8 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 ml). The reaction was heated under microwave irradiation at 100° C. for 30 minutes. Acetonitrile was evaporated, the residue was taken up with EtOAc and washed with 1N NaHCO3, 1N HCl and brine (100 ml). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The crude was purified by flash chromatography (Petroleum ether/EtOAc=99/1 to 8/2) to afford ethyl 2-(4-fluorophenylamino)-2-phenylacetate (4.90 g, 72.3% yield).
