Reaction Steps

A suspension of 8.75 g of 5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenol, 10.9 g of ethylene carbonate and 8.50 g of potassium carbonate in 12 ml of toluene was refluxed for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with benzene, washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residue was distilled to give 9.15 g of 2-(5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenoxy)ethanol as colorless oil, b.p. 138°-140° C. (8mmHg).
