Procedure

In a 50 mL, 3-neck RBF equipped with a magnetic stirrer, reflux condenser, and thermo pocket were sequentially charged 4-fluoro nitrobenzene (2.00 g), Cs2CO3 (9.21 g) and ethylene glycol (20 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction was monitored on TLC using Hexane: Ethyl acetate (7:3) as mobile phase. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into cold water. Solid precipitate was filtered and washed with water. Solid was dried under reduced pressure at 45° C. for 1 hr. 2.70 g of 2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethanol was obtained as a solid and was taken for the next step without further purification.
