Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-difluorophenol (11.0 g, 85 mmol) and DIPEA (15.5 mL, 89 mmol) in DCM (150 ml) at 0° C. under nitrogen was added MOM-Br (7.33 mL, 89 mmol) over 1 hr and the reaction mixture then maintained at RT for 16 hr. The resulting mixture was washed successively with water, aq 2M NaOH solution, water and brine, and was then dried (MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo to afford 2,4-difluoro-1-(methoxymethoxy)benzene as a colourless oil (13.7 g, 88% yield). Rt 3.17 min (Method 1, basic, no ionization observed), which was used directly in the next step (below).
