Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66858654, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Step M (1): Ethyl chloroformate (16.6 g, 153 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,3-difluorophenol (20 g, 153 mmol) and triethylamine (20.7 mL, 146 mmol) in EtOAc (200 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. The crude reaction was poured into 1 N HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography (5% EtOAc/hexane) to afford 2,3-difluorophenyl ethyl carbonate (20 g, 64% yield).
