Procedure
A mixture of 1.50 g (8.00 mmols) of 4-chloro-3-methyl-2-nitrophenol, 1.50 g (8.80 mmols) of benzyl bromide, 2.43 g (17.6 mmols) of potassium carbonate and 70 ml of acetone was refluxed for 2 hours. Thereafter insoluble matters were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 2.22 g (>99%) of 3-benzyloxy-6-chloro-2-nitrotoluene.
