Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-4-fluorophenol (4.0 g), carbonyldiimidazole (1.7 g) in DCM (100 ml) and acetonitrile (30 ml) was stirred at RT for 5 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 30% ethylacetate/isohexane, yield 4.0 g.
