Procedure

The compound N-(4-benzyloxy-2,2-difluorobutyl)-phthalimide (8.97 g, 26 mM) and a 1M solution of hydrazine hydrate in ethanol (26 mL) are stirred under reflux. After a few minutes, a heavy precipitate is observed. Stirring and heating (bath temperature: 90°-100° C.) are continued overnight. Ethanol (220 mL) and concentrated HCl (18 mL) are added, and the mixture is refluxed for an additional 11/2 hour. After cooling (ice) the phthaloyl hydrazide is filtered, and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is dissolved in water, filtered, and the solution is again evaporated. Residual water is removed by stripping with ethanol (twice) and CCl4 (twice). The residue is dissolved in a minimum amount of ethanol. Crystallization occurs upon the addition of water, which after chilling to 5° C. yields white crystals of 4-benzyloxy-2,2-difluorobutylamine as the hydrochloride salt: 5.16 g (79%).
