Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)methanol (0.5 g, 2.73 mmol) and thionyl chloride (0.3 mL, 4.09 mmol) was heated at reflux for 12 h. then the mixture concentrated in vacuo to afford 0.55 g of 4-(chloromethyl)-2-methoxy-1-nitrobenzene, (yield: 100% yield) which was used in further chemistries without purification.
