Reaction Steps

3-Methoxy-4-nitrophenol (0.6 g, 3.6 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (15 ml). Potassium carbonate (1.3 g, 9.1 mmol) was added, followed by 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (5.1 g, 35.5 mmol). The reaction was stirred in a sealed pressure tube at 80° C. for 20 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, the solid was then filtered off and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was then taken up into ethyl acetate and washed with 1M sodium hydroxide, brine, and then dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent afforded the title compound as a yellow solid.
