Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[4-(2,6-dichloro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-morpholine hydrochloride (0.65 g; 1.68 mmol), Et3N (0.58 mL; 4.2 mmol), and ethyl bromoacetate (0.24 ml; 2.19 mmol) in CH3CN (65 mL) was stirred at 85° C., overnight. After cooling to RT the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue partitioned between water and CH2Cl2. The layers were separated and aqueous layer was extracted once more with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, Et2O:hexanes 2:1) to afford {2-[4-(2,6-dichloro-benzyloxy)-phenyl]-morpholin-4-yl}-acetic acid ethyl ester (0.62 g).
