Procedure

A 5 mL round bottom flask was charged with 4-(bromomethyl)-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene (0.6 g, 2.44 mmol) and acetonitrile (2 mL). The solution was treated with triethylamine (1 mL, 7.32 mmol) and 2-(methylamino)ethanol (0.585 mL, 7.32 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to provide the title compound. MS (DCI(+)) m/e 241.1 (M+H)+
