Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 8.70 g (40.6 mmol) 3-(4-difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-acrylic acid in 60.0 ml tetrahydrofuran and 0.6 ml N,N-dimethylformamide a solution of 5.14 ml (60.9 mmol) oxalyl chloride in 10 ml tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise at 0° C. within 10 min. Stirring was continued at 0-5° C. for 30 min. and 2 h at room temperature thereafter. The resulting solution was cooled to 0-5° C. again and then added within 15 min. to 150 ml of a 25% aqueous ammonia solution. The separating oil was collected and stirred for 30 min. with water. The precipitated amide was collected, washed with water and dried at 40° C. in vacuo. 4.7 g (54%) 3-(4-Difluoromethoxy-phenyl)-acrylamide.
