Reaktionsschritte

To a stirred, cooled (0° C.) dispersion of 1.52 g (0.00658 mol) of 5-chloromethoxy-4-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde (10), 1 g AlCl3, and 10 ml dry dichloroethane, 2.4 ml of dry pyridine are added. During addition, the reaction mixture is protected from atmospheric moisture, and the temperature is kept below 35° C. When addition is complete, the temperature is raised to 47° C., and maintained for 18 hours. 6N HCl is added, keeping the temperature at 30°-35° C., until the mixture is acidic to Congo Red indicator paper. The acidic solution is extracted with diethyl ether, and the combined ether extracts are dried over Na2SO4. After filtration, the ether is removed at reduced pressure, giving 0.82 g (68%) of (1): mp 201°-202°° C.
