Reaction Steps

2,4-difluoro-3-[[2-fluoro-5-(3-fluorophenyl)phenyl]methylamino]-5-methyl-phenol (206 mg, 0.57 mmol, 1.0 eq) was dissolved in DMF (15 mL). Cs2CO3 (279 mg, 0.86 mmol, 1.5 eq) was added and the reaction mixture stirred for 30 min at room temperature. Isopropyl bromoacetate (124 mg, 0.68 mmol, 1.2 eq) was added and the reaction stirred a further 1 h at room temperature. The resulting mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether: EtOAc, 50:1 to 30:1) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (200 mg, 76%).
