After refluxing overnight, the mixture was cooled and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to provide crude 1-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-2-nitropropyl)benzene (200 mg, 62% yield) as yellow oil which was used directly in the next step.
