Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

K2CO3 (0.34 mol), followed by 4-chloro-2-dimethoxymethyl-1-nitro-benzene (0.2 mol) was added to a solution of 3-amino-phenol (0.3 mol) in DMA (400 mLI) and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at 130° C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was taken up in H2O and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered off and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluent: CH2Cl2 100%). The product fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated to yield the title compound as a residue.
