Procedure

A suspension of 3-fluoro-4-nitrophenol (6.28 g, 40 mmol), benzyl bromide (5.00 mL, 42 mmol), and K2CO3 (6.63 g, 48 mmol) in acetone (80 mL) was refluxed for 2 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with AcOEt. The extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from hexane/AcOEt to give 4-(benzyloxy)-2-fluoro-1-nitrobenzene (16.0 g, 92% yield) as a pale yellow solid.
