Methyl iodide → 2-(4-Bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylpropyl methyl ether

Temperature

0 °C

To a DMF (4 ml) solution of 2-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol (199 mg, 0.8 mmol, WO2004074270A2) was added 60% sodium hydride (35 mg, 0.88 mmol) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes followed by additional stirring for 1 hour at room temperature. After the mixture was cooled to 0° C., methyliodide (342 mg, 2.4 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 0° C. followed by additional stirring for 16 hours at room temperature. Then, the reaction was quenched with water and the whole was extracted with EtOAc, which was dried over sodium sulfate. Then, filtration, evaporation and purification by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with hexane/EtOAc (20:1), gave the title compound (174 mg, 83% yield) as a colorless oil.
