2-Methoxyethanol → HCID 66654962, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,5-difluorophenol (1.0 equiv.), 2-methoxyethanol (3.0 equiv.) and triphenylphosphine (3.0 equiv) in THF (0.1 M) was added DIAD (3.0 equiv.). After stirring at rt for 18 hours, the volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by SiO2 chromatography to yield 1,3-difluoro-5-(2-methoxyethoxyl)benzene in 95% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, <cdcl3>) δ ppm 6.41-6.47 m (3 H), 4.08 (t, 2H), 3.74 (t, 2H), 3.45 (s, 3 H).
