Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (13.5 g, 0.098 mol) followed by 1-iodopropane (9.56 mL, 0.098 mol) were added to a solution of 4-methyl-3-nitro-phenol (15 g, 0.098 mol) in DMF (100 mL). The mixture was stirred for 5 hours and then partitioned between H2O and EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with satd NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to a clear oil (17.5 g).
