Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 6-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde (2.31 g, 10.0 mmol), neopentyl glycol (1.14 g, 11.0 mmol), TsOH (9.5 mg) and triethyl orthoformate (1.93 g, 13.0 mmol) were heated at 110° C. for 30 min and then partitioned between NaHCO3 (300 mL) solution and EtOAc (200 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL) and the combined extracts were washed with brine and dried through Na2SO4. Evaporation of solvent afforded the title compound (3.17 g, 100%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.85 (s, 3H), 1.27 (s, 3H), 3.70 (s, 2H), 3.82 (s, 2H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 5.90 (s, 1H), 6.72 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H).
