To a solution of 2-(3,5-difluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)acetic acid (1 g, 4.95 mmol) in THF (20 mL) at 0° C. was added 1M LAH (9.89 mL, 9.89 mmol) in THF and the resulting mixture was heated at 60° C. for 3 h. Mixture was then cooled and quenched with dropwise addition of water (0.5 mL), 1N NaOH (0.5 mL), and then 1 mL H2O. After stirring for 15 min. the mixture was filtered through celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dried under high vacuum to afford 2-(3,5-difluoro-2-methoxyphenyl)ethanol (700 mg, 3.72 mmol, 75% yield) as a clear viscous oil. Used as is in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.83-6.72 (m, 2H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.87 (q, J=5.7 Hz, 2H), 2.92 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 1.73-1.64 (m, 1H).
