Procedure

A mixture of 1,2-dichloro-4-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)benzene (60 g, 190.40 mmol, 1.00 equiv), Fe (53 g, 946.43 mmol, 4.97 equiv) and ammonium chloride (10 g, 188.68 mmol, 0.99 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran/water(1/2) (600 mL) was stirred overnight at 60° C. under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The resulting solution was extracted with 3×500 mL of dichloromethane and the organic layers combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 3×500 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give 40 g (74%) of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-3-methoxyaniline as a light gray solid.
