Reaction Steps

2-Nitrophenol (142.0 g, 1.02 mole), allyl bromide (120.9 g, 1.00 mole), anhydrous potassium carbonate (140.0 g, 1.02 mole) and dry acetone (500 cc) were refluxed for 21 hours, and filtered to remove the potassium bromide. The residue was washed with acetone and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The residue was partitioned between 200 cc of dichloromethane and water. The dichloromethane layer was washed with 200 cc of 10% potassium hydroxide, separated and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The crude product was fractionally distilled at 124° C. at 2.0 mm. Hg to yield 164.7 g of product (91.9%).
