Reaktionsschritte

4-Methoxymethyloxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (1j, 2.30 g, 11.7 mmol) and acetone (19, 8.75 ml, 118.4 mmol) were combined in ethanol (20 ml) and stirred for 15 min at room temperature. A solution of sodium hydroxide (0.80 g, 20.0 mmol) and water (20 ml) was added and the mixture stirred for 1 hr at room temperature. The resulting mixture was extracted into ethyl acetate, washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford a solid. The crude solid was recrystallized from hexane to give 2.70 g (97%) of a white solid: mp 73-75° C.; 1H NMR: δ 2.34 (s, 3H), 3.48 (s, 3H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 5.24 (s, 2H), 6.58 (d, 1H, J=16.1 Hz), 7.07 (m, 2H), 7.13 (d, 1H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.43 (d, 1H, J=16.1 Hz); 13C NMR: δ 27.4, 55.9, 56.3, 95.2, 110.4, 115.9, 122.5, 125.7, 128.7, 143.1, 148.7, 149.8, 198.0.
