Procedure
Acetyl nitrate obtained by mixing acetic anhydride (306 mg, 3.0 mmol) with fuming nitric acid (189 mg, 3.0 mmol) at 0° C. was dropped into a solution of 2,3-bis(methoxymethyl)phenol (483 mg, 2.65 mmol) in acetonitrile (5 ml) at 0° C. followed by stirring for 40 minutes. The reaction solution was diluted with water and extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution successively and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated therefrom to provide a 2:1 mixture (329 mg; yield 54%) of 2,3-bis(methoxymethyl)-6-nitrophenol and 2,3-bis(methoxymethyl)-4-nitrophenol as yellow solid. This was used in the next reaction without separation and purification.
