Reaction Steps

A solution of 20 g of ethyl chlorodifluoroacetate in 150 ml ether was treated with one equivalent of benzyl magnesium chloride in 63 ml THF at -40° C. under nitrogen. After 2 hours, the reaction was poured into aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with ether. Evaporation and distillation (0.1 mm Hg) of the residue gave 24.8 g of an oil which was used directly.
