Procedure

A solution of 4-chloro-3-nitro-phenol (0.5 g, 2.88 mmol), 1-chloromethyl-4-methoxy-benzene (0.496 g, 3.17 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.19 g, 8.64 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (0.005 g, 0.0135 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Afterwards ice water (10 mL) was added to the solution and the resultant solid was collected by filtration and dried in a vacuum oven to provide the title compound (0.812 g, 96%).
