Reaction Steps

Step A To a solution of methyl 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoate (Aldrich) (3 g, 15.2 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (25 mL) were added NaH (Aldrich, 60%) (0.91 g, 22.8 mmol) and iodoethane (2.61 g, 16.7 mmol) sequentially. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Water was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give methyl 3-ethoxy-4-nitrobenzoate as a light yellow solid (1.0 g, 29%).
