Procedure

10 g (71.88 mmol) 2-nitrophenol A1 and 3.59 g (89.86 mmol) sodium hydroxide were dissolved in 55 ml n-butanol and 5 ml water at 70° C., 6.26 ml (7.52 g, 93.44 mmol) 2-chloroethanol were slowly added drop by drop. This was followed by three days of vigorous stirring at 100° C. After cooling, the reaction mixture was filtrated, the precipitate washed with chloroform and the filtrate reduced. The residue was taken up in chloroform and washed three times with aqueous 10% sodium hydroxide solution. Then the organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and was concentrated in vacuo. 10.8 g of bright yellow crystals were obtained; yield 82%.
