Procedure
To a solution of ethyl 2-(4-methoxy-2-nitrophenoxy)acetate 8 (1.0 g, 0.004 mol) in 10 mL dichloromethane cooled in an ice-bath was added aluminum chloride (1.6 g, 0.0133 mol) portion wise. The resulting mixture was gradually warmed to room temperature and then refluxed for 4 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and dried over sodium sulfate to give ethyl 2-(4-hydroxy-2-nitrophenoxy)acetate 9 which was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a gradient of hexane and ethyl acetate. White solid (0.28 g, 37%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.26 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 3H); 4.27 (q, J=6.8 Hz, 2H); 4.71 (S, 2H); 6.32 (S, 1H); 6.90 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H); 6.99 (dd, J=3.2 Hz; 8.8 Hz, 1H); 7.30 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H).
