Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 90 mL CH3CN was added 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol (15 g, 86.4 mmol) followed by potassium carbonate (17.9 g, 129.6 mmol). To the stirring suspension was added via dropping funnel a 10 mL CH3CN solution of 3-fluoro-benzylbromide (16.3 g, 86.4 mmol). The contents were stirred and heated at 70° C. for 18 h, after which time the bright yellow mixture was allowed to cool to rt. The yellow contents were poured onto water (200 mL) and stirred, upon which solid formation occurs. The solid was filtered and filter cake washed with additional water (50 mL). The collected solid was dried in vacuo, yielding 2-chloro-1-(3-fluoro-benzoyloxy)-4-nitro-benzene (23 g, 94%) as a white solid.
