p-Fluoronitrobenzene → 1-Nitro-4-phenoxybenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction was carried out completely in the same manner as in Example 21, except that p-fluoronitrobenzene was used instead of p-chloronitrobenzene and sodium phenolate was used instead of potassium fluoride in Example 21. Further, the reaction temperature was changed to 80° C. and the reaction time was changed to 3 hours without pursuing the reaction on halfway. Objective 4-phenoxynitrobenzene was produced in the yield of 98%.
