The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 10 hours, then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine. The organic layers were combined and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude residue, which was purified by column chromatography (silica 5-25% EtOAc/hexane) to give 4-fluoro-2-methoxymethoxy-1-nitro-benzene.
