Abstract
A new method to synthesize the title compound has been studied.4-methoxy-1-nitrobenzene is produced by a substitution of 4-chloro-1-nitrobenzene, and is converted to the intermediate,4-methoxy-benzenmine,by the reductive agent Na 2S,then the intermediate is converted by diazotization into the product, 4-methoxyphenol.Two aspects of the synthesis are discussed:the reaction conditions and the factors that affect yields.The yields in all steps are above 80%.
