Procedure

To a solution of 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrophenol (19.1 g) in acetonitrile (100 ml), there was added anhydrous potassium carbonate (8 g). After stirring at room temperature (ca. 20° C.) for several minutes, isopropyl iodide (25 g) was added thereto, and the resultant mixture was heated unde reflux for 3 hours. After being allowed to cool to room temperature (ca. 20° C.), water was added thereto, and the reaction mixture was extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed with a 5 % aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and water in order, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 13.5 g of 4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-isopropoxynitrobenzene. M.P., 61.3°-62.4° C.
