Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methanesulfonic acid 2-(3,5-difluoro-phenoxy)-ethyl ester (1.2 g, 4.76 mmol), THF (30 ml) and 40% aqueous monomethylamine (30 ml) was heated under reflux for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was poured on water and extracted 3 times with diethyl ether (3×20 ml). The orghanic phase was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residue was chromatographed on silicagel eluting with methylene chloride-methanol (9-1) to give [2-(3,5-difluoro-phenoxy)-ethyl]-methyl-amine (0.63 g, 71%).
