Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (610 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) is added successively 2-dimethylaminoethyl chloride hydrochloride (1.08 g) and potassium carbonate (2.0 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. To the reaction mixture is added ethyl acetate, and the mixture is washed with water and saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The resultant crude product is purified by column chromatography in silica gel (Solvent; chloroform:methanol=20:1→10:1) to give 4-[2-(dimethylamino)-ethoxy]benzaldehyde (640 mg, yield; 66%) as a pale yellow oil.
