Abstract
2-(2-nitrophenoxy) acetic acid was obtained by three steps,using 2-nitrophenol and methyl 2-chloroacetate as starting materials and potassium carbonate as catalyst.The effect of reaction temperature and amount of sodium hydroxide on the yield were studied.When the reaction temperature was 72 ℃ and the amount of sodium hydroxide was 1.5 times as that of methyl 2-(2-nitrophenoxy) acetate and the yield reached 78.9%.New method had the advantages of convenient operation,mild reaction conditions and cheap reagents and was suitable for industrial process.
