Procedure

To a −78° C. cooled solution of 1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-methoxy-3-methylbenzene (470 mg, 2.69 mmol) in THF (5.5 mL) was added sodium amide (95%, 276 mg, 6.72 mmol). After 30 minutes, the solution was warmed to −20 to −30° C. and then benzylamine (441 μL, 4.05 mmol) was added dropwise over 1 minute. The reaction was stirred overnight, and LCMS showed no starting material. The reaction was quenched by cooling in an ice bath followed by dropwise addition of saturated NH4Cl and water. After stirring for 1 hour, the reaction mix was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic phases dried over MgSO4 and concentrated via rotary evaporation. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-30% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield a 223 mg (34%) of N-benzyl-3-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-methylaniline as an orange oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.40-7.27 (m, 5H), 6.06-6.00 (m, 1H), 6.00 (s, 1H), 4.29 (s, 2H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 2.00 (s, 3H); LCMS (m/z): 246 (MH+).
