methyl 2-(2,6-difluorophenoxy)acetate

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a mixture of 2,6-difluorophenol (25 g), potassium carbonate (39.5 g) and acetone (100 ml) was added dropwise with stirring at room temperature a solution of methyl bromoacetate (17.8 ml) in acetone (100 ml). After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was taken up in a mixture of conc. hydrochloric acid (40 ml) and ice water (500 ml), and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure gave methyl 2,6-difluorophenoxyacetate (38 g) as a colorless oil. was added dropwise extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure
