4-methoxy-phenol is acetylated by reflux in a mixture of acetic anhydride and acetic acid for a period of about 10 to 15 hours, preferably about 12 hours. The acetylated derivative is nitrated by contact with a slight molar excess of nitric acid at room temperature, with stirring for about 1 to 4 hours, preferably about 2 hours giving 2-nitro-4-acetyloxy-anisole. The 2-nitro-4-acetyloxy-anisole is hydrogenated to give the corresponding aniline of Formula 12.
