1,4-dinitrobenzene undergoes nucleophilic substitution with sodium phenoxide and several hindered 2,6-disubstituted phenoxides to afford diphenyl ethers.

The displacement of the nitro group from substituted nitrobenzenes is used for the synthesis of diphenyl ethers. 1,4-Dinitrobenzene has been converted into a variety of hindered diphenyl ethers using 2,6-disubstituted phenoxides and studies show that the mechanism of formation of the ether (5a) is radical in nature.
