After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was allowed to stand. A 150 ml portion of the supernatant was added dropwise to a solution of 5.00 g of 6-fluoro-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde [CAS No. 457628-15-8] in 90 ml of toluene while cooling on ice. After stirring the mixture at room temperature for 1 hour, saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added to the reaction mixture. The organic layer was extracted with ethyl acetate The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The desiccating agent was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate-heptane) to give 3-fluoro-6-methoxy-2-vinylphenol (4.33 g) as a solid.
