Reaction Steps

Aryl ethers have been formed by reacting aryl halides with phenols under various conditions. Roberts and Turner disclose (J. Chem. Soc., 1925, Vol. 127, p. 2004) that 2, 4-dichloronitrobenzene reacts with phenol in aqueous KOH, at 100° C., to give a quantitative yield of 4-chloro-2-phenoxynitrobenzene.
