Participants

Reaction Steps

2.5 g (12.5 mmol) of 2,4-dinitro-5-methylphenol (I. R. Gibbs and P. W. Robertson, J. Chem. Soc. (London) 105, 1885) are dissolved in 12.5 ml of dioxane, added to 1.5 ml (19 mmol) of 2-iodoethane and 3.5 ml (25 mmol) of triethylamine and heated for 24 hours to 80° C. The reaction mixture is then poured over ice. The yellow crystals that precipitate out are isolated by suction. 2.2 g (77% of theoretical) of the ethoxy compound, having a melting point of 92° to 93° C., are obtained.
