Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.0 g. of ethyl 2-fluoro-4-(hexadecylamino)phenylacetate, 7.0 g. of potassium hydroxide and 100 ml. of ethanol-water is heated to reflux for 4 hours. While hot, the mixture is adjusted to pH 7 with conc. hydrochloric acid. The mixture is diluted with water, cooled and filtered. Recrystallization of the precipitate yields 2-fluoro-4-(hexadecylamino)phenylacetic acid.
