Cognate preparations. Butyl 2-nitrophenyl ether (o-Butoxynitrobenzene). Place a mixture of 28 g (0.2 mol) of o-nitrophenol (Expt 6.102), 28 g (0.2 mol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate, 30g (23.5 ml, 0.22 mol) of butyl bromide and 200 ml of dry acetone in a 1-litre round-bottomed flask fitted with an efficient reflux condenser, and reflux on a steam bath for 48 hours. Distil off the acetone, add 200 ml of water and extract the product with two 100 ml portions of benzene (CAUTION). Wash the combined benzene extracts with three 90 ml portions of 10 per cent sodium hydroxide solution, remove the benzene by distillation at atmospheric pressure and distil the residue under reduced pressure. Collect the o-butoxynitrobenzene at 171-172°C/19mmHg (or at 127-129 °C/2mmHg) the yield is 30 g (77%).
