Reaction Steps

To 4-chloro-3-fluorophenylacetic acid (5 g, 26.5 mmol) and benzyl alcohol (5.5 mL, 53.0 mmol) in NMP (50 mL) at 0° C. was added sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil; 2.3 g, 58.3 mmol), and the reaction was then heated to 120° C. and stirred overnight. The mixture was acidified to pH 4 and extracted with EtOAc to give (3-benzyloxy-4-chloro-phenyl)-acetic acid.
