Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,4-dichlorophenol (38 g, 233.13 mmol, 1.00 equiv), 1-fluoro-2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene (40 g, 233.75 mmol, 1.00 equiv) and potassium carbonate (64 g, 463.77 mmol, 1.99 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (250 mL) was stirred overnight at 60° C. The resulting solution was diluted with 1000 mL of water, extracted with 3×200 mL of ethyl acetate and the organic layers combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 3×500 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to yield 60 g (82%) of 1,2-dichloro-4-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)benzene as a brown solid.
