Reaktionsschritte

To 61.2 g of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 208 g of potassium carbonate was added 300 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 66.0 ml of 1-chloro-3-methyl-2-butene was dropped into the mixture, and the mixture was stirred for 3 days. After the reaction, the reaction liquid was poured into ice water and extracted with ether, the ether layer was washed with a 10% solution of potassium carbonate, and the organic layer was shaken with a 5% solution of sodium hydroxide. The pH value of the aqueous layer was adjusted to about 2 by 6 N hydrochloric acid and the formed precipitate was extracted with ether. The ether layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride in sequence, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation and the obtained residue was subjected to the column chromatography (330 g of 240-400 mesh silica gel; hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1; 0.4 kg/cm2). Fractions of 50 ml were recovered in sequence, and the 19th to 51st fractions were combined to obtain 12.31 g (yield=13.05%) of 4-hydroxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)benzaldehyde.
