Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-3-nitro aniline (1.0 g, 5.79 mmol), 4-methoxyphenol (0.74 g, 6.00 mmol), cesium carbonate (1.95 g, 6.00 mmol) in dimethylformamide (10 ml) was heated at 100° C. for 16 hours. Afterwards ice water (50 mL) was added to the solution and the resultant slurry was treated with ethyl acetate (100 ml). The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with 10% sodium bicarbonate and 10% sodium chloride, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered and solvent was removed under vacuum leaving a red solid as the title compound (1.1 g, 73%).
