Reaction Steps

To 7.5 g (165 mmole) of anhydrous dimethylamine in 50 ml of methylene chloride and cooled to -30° C. was added a solution of 20 g (664 mmole) of 2-bromo-4'-difluoromethoxyacetophenone in 50 ml of methylene chloride. After the addition was complete the reaction was allowed to warm to 20° C. Concentration in vacuo, partitioning between diethyl ether and 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide, washing with brine, drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and reconcentration in vacuo yielded 16.8 g of 2-dimethylamino-4'-difluoromethoxyacetophenone, an oil.
