Procedure

A mixture of 4-methoxy-2-nitrophenol 6 (1.69 g, 0.01 mol), potassium carbonate (2.76 g, 0.02 mol) and ethyl bromoacetate 7 (1.1 mL, 0.01 mol) in 20 mL anhydrous acetone was refluxed for overnight (12 h). The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography. The reaction mixture was evaporated, the residue was diluted with water and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to give ethyl 2-(4-methoxy-2-nitrophenoxy)acetate 8 which was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 0-50% gradient of hexane and ethyl acetate. Yellow solid (2.18 g, 85%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.28 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H); 3.82 (s, 3H); 4.25 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H); 4.70 (s, 2H); 7.01 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H); 7.08 (dd, J=3.2, 9.2 Hz, 1H); 7.40 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H).
