The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed twice with saturated NaHCO3. The aqueous layers were extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give 4-{[4-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-2-(methyloxy) phenyl]oxy}-2-nitroaniline. (M+1) 332.9, 2.13 min (LC/MS method B)
