Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4-fluorophenylacetonitrile (0.60 g, 2.7 mmol) from Step 4 above in acetic acid (10 mL) was added 12 N aqueous HCl (5 mL). The mixture was refluxed for 4 h. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc (100 mL) and water (2-50 mL). The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-4-fluorophenylacetic acid as an amorphous solid (HPLC retention time=7.5 min (method A)).
