Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4'-hydroxy-2-nitrobiphenyl (10.4 g), dimethyl sulphate (9.15 g) in acetone (350 ml) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (22 g) was heated at reflux for 10 hours to get an oil which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (150 g, 100-200 mesh) eluted with hexane to give 4'-methoxy-2-nitrobiphenyl (m.p. 55°-56° C.).
