Conditions

Temperature: 80 °C

Procedure

To a solution of methyl 4-fluoro-2-methoxybenzoate (1.84 g, 10 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) were added phenol (0.94 g, 10 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.67 g, 20 mmol). The mixture was heated to 80° C. and stirred for 12 hours. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate=7:1) to give methyl 2-methoxy-4-phenoxybenzoate (2.1 g, 81%).
