Participants

Reaction Steps

1 g (3.2 mmol) of 2-[4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-3-methoxy-phenyl]-ethylamine, 833 mg (6 mmol) of K2CO3, 50 mg of potassium iodide and 0.27 ml (2.9 mmol) of bromo-acetic acid methyl ester were dissolved in 10 ml of dimethylformamide and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Solvent was removed, water was added to the residue and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol/NH3 100:0:0→100:2.5:0.25 gradient v:v:v). The product obtained was dissolved in anhydrous hydrochloric acid in ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed and the residue was triturated with diethyl ether. 482 mg (39% yield) of the title compound were obtained as a brown solid.
