Procedure

Into a 25 mL 3-neck RBF equipped with reflux condenser and thermo pocket were charged 2-(benzyloxy)-1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (3.3 g), 2-methoxy ethanol (16.0 mL) and Cs2CO3 (8.67 g). The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 2 hr. The reaction was monitored on TLC using hexane:ethyl acetate (5:5) as mobile phase. The reaction was complete after 2 hr. After completion, 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. The obtained 3.90 g of solid 2-(benzyloxy)-1-(2-methoxyethoxy)-4-nitrobenzene was taken onto the next step without further purification. 1H NMR: DMSO-d6 (400 MHz): 3.34 (s, 3H), 3.722-3.700 (t, 2H, J=4.4), 4.269-4.291 (t, 2H, J=4.4), 5.256 (s, 2H), 7.216-7.239 (d, 1H, J=9.2), 7.328-7.364 (m, 1H), 7.393-7.430 (m, 2H), 7.471 (s, 1H), 7.489 (s, 1H), 7.849-7.855 (d, 1H, J=2.4), 7.889-7.971 (dd, 1H, J=2.4, 6.4).
