Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene (5.0 g) was dissolved in acetone and ethyl iodide (2.5 ml) and potassium carbonate (4.4 g) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 4½ hours. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ: 7.64 (m, 2H), 7.27 (dd, 1H, J 9.0, 3.1 Hz), 4.12 (q, 2H, J 7.0 Hz), 1.34 (t, 3H, 7.0 Hz).
