After three additional hours, the precipitate was collected via filtration in quantitative yield. 1H NMR indicates that it is about 65% 5-chloro-2,4-dihdroxybenzaldehyde, with the balance being 3-chloro-2,4-dihdroxybenzaldehyde. The product can be purified via column chromatography and/or repeated recrystallizations from toluene. However, the 3-chloro-2,4-dihdroxybenzaldehyde does not react in the next reaction, so the product was used without further purification.
