Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-[(difluoromethyl)oxy]aniline (3.16 g), iodine monochloride (3.9 g) and sodium acetate (6.5 g) in acetic acid (30 ml) was stirred for 1 hour, then partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and ether. The ether layer was separated, washed consecutively with sodium thiosulphate solution and brine. The solvent was removed and the residue was loaded onto a silica gel and chromatographed on silica gel eluted with hexane/ethyl acetate 0-20% to give the title compound as a red oil (2.9 g).
