There is added thereto a solution of 44.8 g of sodium hydroxide in 1.8 l of water and, while stirring vigorously, 143 ml of dimethyl sulfate. After 1 hour, the organic phase is separated, washed with water, dried and evaporated in vacuo. There is obtained 2,4-dichloro-3-nitroanisole of melting point 97°-99° (hexane).
