Reaction Steps

A mixture consisting of 1.0 g of 4-(2-fluoroethoxy)benzyl chloride, 1.0 g of 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropyl alcohol, 0.3 g of triethylbenzylammonium bromide and 20 g of a 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and poured into water. Toluene was added, and the mixture was fully stirred. The toluene layer was separated, washed with water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Toluene and low-volatile components were evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1.6 g of the desired 4-(2-fluoroethoxy)benzyl 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropyl ether.
