Versuchsvorschrift

To a solution of o-vanillin (10.1 g) and a catalytic quantity (0.8 g) of dimethylaminopyridine in N-diisopropylethyl amine (23 mL) at 0° C. was added acetic anhydride (8 mL). The solution was stirred overnight, poured into 2N hydrochloric acid (100 mL), extracted with dichloromethane and the solvent removed in vacuo to afford a yellow solid. Recrystallization from ethanol yielded yellow crystals (10.9 g, 85%): m.p. 75.4-76.2° C., lit17 m.p. 76° C.; EIMS m/z 194 (M+), 152, 106, 43.
