Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol (2.761 g), chloromethyl methyl ether (2.4 mL), acetone (16 mL) and potassium carbonate (3.1 g) was heated under reflux for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was poured in saturated saline solution, and the product was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with saturated saline solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off, to provide crude 2-chloro-1-methoxy-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene (3.091 g).
