Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-nitro-5-fluorophenol (1.0 g, 1 eq, 6.36 mmol) and ethyl 2-bromopropionate (0.91 ml, 1.1 eq, 6.99 mmol) in dry acetone (32 ml) was added anhydrous potassium carbonate (2.63 g, 3 eq, 19.08 mmol) and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and then condensed on rotavapour. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine to yield ethyl 2-(2-nitro-5-fluorophenoxy)propanoate as crude compound (1.6 g, yield 98%), which was used in step (ii).
