Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(4-difluoromethoxyphenyl)-ethanol (0.582 g, 3.09 mmol, from step (iii) above) in methylene chloride (8 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Triethylamine (0.52 mL, 3.7 mmol) was added followed by a solution of methanesulfonyl chloride (0.26 mL, 3.4 mmol) in methylene chloride (2 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 90 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (40 mL) and the organic phase was washed with water (2×30 mL) and brine (30 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give 0.78 g (95%) of the title compound as a colourless oil.
