Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-((4-fluorophenyl)amino)acetate (1) (6.68 g, 33.9 mmol) in THF (84 mL) was added acetyl chloride (2.88 mL, 40.6 mmol) and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. Water was added and the reaction was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield ethyl 2-(N-(4-fluorophenyl)acetamido)acetate (2) as an orange solid.
