Procedure
4-nitro-fluorobenzene and phenylsulfonylmethyl chloride were reacted in dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of potassium tert.-butylate to form 4-nitro-3-(phenylsulfonylmethyl)-fluorobenzene which was reacted with N-hydroxy-phthalimide to form 0-[4-nitro-3-(phenylsulfonylmethyl)-phenoxy]-phthalimide which was reacted to obtain 0-[4-nitro-3-phenylsulfonylmethyl)-phenyl]-hydroxylamine melting at 195°-196° C.
