Water → HCID 63268777, compound

The solution of 2.44 g of (2,5-difluorophenoxy)acetonitrile in 40 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise at 20-30° C. to the stirred mixture of 1.13 g of lithium aluminium hydride in 16 ml of diethyl ether. The reaction mixture is stirred at reflux over 2 hours and subsequently cooled to room temperature. 2 ml of water and 6.5 ml of 1N NaOH are successively added dropwise. The suspension is stirred at room temperature over 14 hours. The reaction mixture is poured onto 80 ml of water and extracted with diethyl ether (2×80 ml). The organic phases are washed successively with water (2×80 ml) and brine (1×50 ml), dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated by evaporation. The title compound is obtained as a yellowish oil from the residue by means of flash chromatography (SiO2 60F). Rf=0.24 (200:20:1 dichloromethane-methanol-25% conc. ammonia); Rt=2.37.
