Procedure

In scheme II above, the following abbreviations are used: KF is potassium fluoride; DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide; Ar2OH is either 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenol, 2,4,6-trifluorophenol or 2,3,6-trifluorophenol; THF is tetahydrofuran; MeOH is methanol. Commercially available bromoketone D is reacted with the appropriately substituted fluorophenol and potassium fluoride to give phenoxy ketone E. The ketone is then reduced with sodium borohydride to give the alcohol F, which is hydrogenated using palladium on carbon as catalyst to give the amino alcohol B′ (Ar2=fluoro-substituted phenyl).
