Procedure

To 3-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid (2.0 g, 9.0 mmol) and benzyl alcohol (1.9 mL, 18.0 mmol) in NMP (10 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil; 0.8 g, 19.8 mmol), and the reaction was stirred at 120° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was acidified and extracted with EtOAc, and the crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound.
