0.072 mol (12.6 g) of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol, 40 ml of acetone and 9.72 g of potassium carbonate are introduced into a 250 ml three-necked flask equipped with a stirring system, a thermometer and a condenser. The mixture is brought to 40° C and 9.72 g of dimethyl sulphate are then added drop by drop; the mixture is heated under reflux for 5 hours; the potassium sulphate is separated; the acetone solution is concentrated under reduced pressure and the 4-chloro-2-nitroanisole is precipitated.
