Procedure

13.9 g of 3-nitrophenol, 101 g of 1,3-dibromopropane and 15.2 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate were reacted in 100 ml of methyl ethyl ketone for 2 hours by heating under reflux. After completion of the reaction, insoubles were removed from the reaction mixture by filtration, and the filtrate was then concentrated. Next, the resultant concentrate was dissolved in 300 ml of chloroform, and this chloroform solution was further washed with water. Afterward, the washed organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then treated with under reduced pressure to distill off the solvent, thereby obtaining 24.6 g of 3-(3-nitrophenoxy)propyl bromide (Compound d) in an oily state. This was used for a subsequent reaction without purifying.
