Reaction Steps

2-Methoxy-4-nitrophenol (10.2 g), ethylene carbonate (5.66 g) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (2.1 g) were mixed and stirred for 2 hours at 160° C. After being cooled, all solids were dissolved into chloroform (300 ml) and the solution was washed with water (300 ml) two times. The organic layer was dehydrated with anhydrous magnesium sulfate (10 g) and concentrated under vacuum to obtain 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)ethanol (12.0 g) as yellowish solid.
