Procedure
To a solution of 1-methylsulfonyl-3,5-dinitro-benzene (2.0 g; 8 mmol) in methanol (15 ml) a solution of sodium methoxide (0.5 g; 10 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) was added. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. Water was added and the precipitate washed with a diisopropylether/ethanol mixture. 1.3 g (5.62 mmol; 70% yield) of 1-methylsulfonyl-3-methoxy-5-nitro-benzene were obtained as a yellow solid.
