Reaction Steps

Phosgene was introduced into a solution of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethanol (5.2 g, 31 mmol) in THF (20 ml, dist. over CaH2) at room temperature under stirring. After 1.5 h, the excess phosgene and the solvent were removed by distillation in a high vacuum. 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl chloride (6.69 g, 94%) was obtained as a yellow oil.
