Procedure

3.63 g of 2,4-difluorophenethyl alcohol were reacted with 2.17 g of chloroacetic acid in a manner analogous to that described in Example 1(a), except that the reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. for 1 hour, to give 2.7 g (54%) of 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)ethoxyacetic acid in the form of an oil which was homogeneous according to chromatography.
