Ethyl 2,6-difluorobenzoate (558 mg, 3.0 mmol) was added to dry sodium 3,4-methylenedioxyphenoxide (3.0 mmol, prepared as described in part A) in DMSO followed by addition of dry DMSO (2 ml). The reaction mixture was warmed to 50° C. forming a solution which turned from brown to green upon further heating. After 90 min., the reaction was cooled to 25° C., diluted with water (10 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (3×10 ml). The organic extract was washed with water (2×7 ml) and brine (7 ml), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give a light yellow oil. The product was purified by flash chromatography on SiO2 (5-20% EtOAc/hexane) yielding 532 mg of ethyl 2-fluoro-6-[3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenoxy]benzoate as a colorless oil (58% yield).
