Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propoxy)-3-methoxy-benzoate (509 mg, 2.00 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) at 0° C. was added 2-methoxy-N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N-(trifluoro-sulfanyl)ethanamine (406 μL, 2.20 mmol) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h before the cooling bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. The mixture was poured into water and was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The organics were combined, washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to dryness. Purification of the residue by column chromatography (0-20% EtOAc in Hex) gave methyl 4-(2-fluoro-2-methyl-propoxy)-3-methoxy-benzoate (450 mg, 70%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 256.1, found 257.1 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.57 minutes (3 min run).
