Chloromethyl Methyl Ether → HCID 90423535, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloro(methoxy)methane (11.8 mL) was added at 0 C to a THF (150 mL) solution of 3-bromo-2-fluorophenol (15.0 g) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (41.1 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere and then filtered through celite. The obtained filtrate was washed with 1 M hydrochloric acid and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate in this order, and then, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was passed through a short silica gel column (NH, hexane/ethyl acetate), and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (17.9 g)
