Reaction Steps

A cooled (0° C.) solution of tert-butyl(2-bromo-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate (1.00 g; 3.11 mmol) in DCM (22 mL) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (2.38 mL; 31.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours, the solvents were removed under vacuum to give the title compound (825 mg, quant.).
