Reaction Steps

Dimethyl 4-nitrophthalate was reacted in DMF with sodium 4-methoxyphenoxide to give dimethyl 4-(4-methoxyphenoxy)phthalate in analogy to a process known from the literature (J. Org. Chem. Vol. 42, No. 21, 1977, 3419-3425). After standard working up and chromatography using hexane/EA, the diester was isolated as a brownish oil.
