Reaction Steps

Ethyl(3,5-dibromo-4-[4-nitrophenoxy]phenoxy) acetate (2.4 g), zink chloride (5.7 g), ethylacetate (30 mL) and ethanol (30 mL) was heated at reflux for two hours. After cooling down to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethylacetate, washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and the organic phase dried over potassium carbonate. After concentration, 2.0 g of ethyl(3,5-dibromo-4-[4-aminophenoxy]phenoxy) acetate was obtained as a brown oil.
