ethyl 2-[(4-fluorophenyl)methylamino]acetate

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 4-Fluorobenzylamine (13.86 g, 110 mmol) was dissolved in 25 ml THF and the solution was cooled to 0° C. Bromo-acetic acid ethyl ester (8.35 g, 50 mmol) dissolved in 25 ml THF was added dropwise at 0° C. After stirring for 2 hours at room temperature the solid was filtered off and the fitrate was evaporated. The title compound was purified by chromatography (SiO2, c-hexane/ethyl acetate, 2/1) and was isolated as yellow oil (10.35 g, 98%). was added dropwise at 0° C was filtered off the fitrate was evaporated The title compound was purified by chromatography (SiO2, c-hexane/ethyl acetate, 2/1)
