Procedure

A slurry containing 2-amino-3-nitrophenol (32.0 g, 0.208 mol), 1,2-dichloroethane (260.0 g, 2.65 mol), potassium carbonate (35.0 g, 0.252 mol) and 2-butanone (750 ml) was refluxed for 24 hours. The mixture was cooled and filtered and the solids were washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated to an oily residue that was dissolved in ethyl acetate (500 ml). The organic layer was washed with 1 N sodium hydroxide (250 ml), water (500 ml) and brine (2×500 ml) and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Concentration of the filtered solution and trituration of the residue with hexanes afforded 37.8 g (84.6%) of product as an orange solid: mp 71-73° C.; MS EI m/e 216 (M+).
