Procedure

Add acetic anhydride (160 mL) to a solution of 1-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-nitroethanol (330 g) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (18 g) in dichloromethane (1000 mL), at room temperature using a water bath to keep the temperature below 35° C. Add acetic acid over 30 min and stir the reaction mixture overnight. Dilute with dichloromethane (600 mL) and wash with 2% aqueous HCl, saturated aqueous sodium chloride, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dry (magnesium sulfate) and concentrate. Wash the crude with hexanes to give the title compound (220 g).
