Reaction Steps

Using methyl 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoate as the phenol and methyl 2-bromoacetate as the alkylating agent in the general procedure for alkylation of substituted-2-nitrophenols gives a light yellow solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): δ ppm 8.39 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.15 (dd, J=8.8, 2.3 Hz, 1H), 7.44 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 5.16 (s, 2H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 3.71 (s, 3H). ESI-MS: m/z 270.1 (M+H)+.
