Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 15 g of 3,4-difluorophenol, 23.5 g of potassium carbonate and 60 cm3 of 1,2-dibromoethane in 250 cm3 of acetonitrile was stirred at a temperature in the region of 70° C. for 18 hours. After cooling to about 20° C., the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2 kPa) at a temperature in the region of 40° C. The residue obtained was purified by chromatography under atmospheric pressure, on a column of silica gel (particle size 70-200μ; diameter 8 cm; mass 400 g), eluting with 40-60° C. petroleum ether. The fractions containing the product were combined and then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2 kPa) in the region of 40° C. 15.7 g of 4-(2-bromoethoxy)-1,2-difluorobenzene were obtained in the form of an oil.
