Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-chlorophenoxyacetyl chloride (2 g) in tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) at 0° C. was added methylamine (2M, 12.2 ml). The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature, and stirred for 1 h, before water (30 ml) added and the tetrahydrofuran removed in vacuo. The aqueous was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml), the combined organic extracts washed with brine (40 ml), dried over magnesium sulphate (1 g) and the solvent removed in vacuo to yield the title compound as a white solid (1.67 g).
