Reaction Steps

4-Methylphenacyl bromide (XVI: X=Br) (63 g, 0.296 mole), 4-nitrophenol (XI) (42.4 g, 0.305 mole) and potassium hydroxide (22.5 g, 0.4 mole) were added to methanol (300 ml), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 4 hours. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was treated in the same manner as in Example 29 to obtain 50.0 g of 4-methyl-α-(4-nitrophenoxy)acetophenone (XII) (yield, 62.3%).
