Reaction Steps

4-(2-bromopropionyl)phenoxyacetic acid (5 g, 17.5 mmol) in chloroform (50 ml) was stirred vigorously at 35-40° C. and a solution of 40% methylamine in water (4.05 ml, 52 mmol) was added dropwise over 30 mins. Stirring was continued at this temperature for a further 1.5 h after addition. The mixture was evaporated to dryness and the crude residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel: 10% methanol in chloroform) to give the title product (2.7 g, 65%) as a white foam.
