Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-fluoronitrobenzene (3.53 g, 25 mmol) and 2-methoxyphenol (3.72 g, 30 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (25 mL) under nitrogen was treated with anhydrous potassium carbonate (7.6 g, 55 mmol) and heated to 110° C. for 65 h, then cooled to room temperature. The solution was diluted with dichloromethane (50 ml) and treated with DOWEX® 550A OH anion exchange resin (log) which had been washed dry with methanol. Stirring was continued for one hour, the mixture was filtered, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo (exhaustively at end to remove DMF) to give 3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)nitrobenzene as a residue.
