Fluoroalkylbenzenes: Synthesis of (S)-2.3-Dimethoxy-5-[(3-fluoro)propyll-6-hydroxy-N-](1-ethyl-2-pyr-rrolidinyl)methyllbenzamide

Abstract The synthesis of the titled fluoropropylsalicylamide ( 2 ) was achieved by a route which avoided the intramolecular cyclization reactions of ortho -[(3-fluoro)propyl]phenol substrates.
