Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 57667922, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.50 g of potassium carbonate and 0.50 g of methyl 4-(bromomethyl)-2-nitrobenzoate were added to 5 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide solution containing 0.18 g of phenol at room temperature and stirred at the same temperature for 10 hours. Ethyl acetate and 1.0 mol/L hydrochloric acid were added to the reaction mixture. The organic layer was separated and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate after washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography [eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=6:1] to obtain 0.53 g of methyl 2-nitro-4-(phenoxymethyl)benzoate as colorless oil.
