Procedure

A mixture of 3-nitrobenzoyl chloride (3.71 g), anisole (2.0 ml) and aluminum chloride (2.67 g) in dichloromethane (50 ml) was refluxed for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The resultant solid was collected and washed with ethyl acetate to give 1-(3-nitrobenzoyl)-4-methoxybenzene (955 mg).
