Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[[2,6-difluoro-3-(3-fluorophenyl)phenyl]methylamino]-2,4-difluoro-phenol (300 mg, 0.82 mmol, 1.0 eq) in DMF (5 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (375 mg, 1.15 mmol, 1.4 eq) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, then ethyl 2-bromoacetate (151 mg, 0.90 mmol, 1.1 eq) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for a further 1 h and the resulting mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, evaporated in vacuo and purified by column chromatography (EtOAc:petroleum ether, 0:1 to 1:10) to give the title compound as an oil (240 mg, 65%).
