Procedure

Using the method described in Example 17, equimolar amounts of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxytoluene and α-bromo-2-fluoroacetophenone are refluxed in benzene in the presence of potassium carbonate to provide 2-fluoro-α-(2-methyl-5-methoxyphenoxy)acetophenone. Recrystallization from cyclohexane provides a tan solid, m.p. 57°-58° C.
