Reaction Steps

4.0 g of 4-benzyloxy-2-fluorophenol is reacted with 10 g epichlorhydrin and 0.2 ml piperidine for 90 minutes at 100°. After removal of the volatile material, 40 ml tetrahydrofuran and 20 ml 2M NaOH is added. After 1 hour stirring the solvent is evaporated and the residue partitioned between methylenechloride and water. The organic phase is purified over silica gel with toluene giving 4-benzyloxy-1-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-2-fluorobenzene (colourless oil).
