Hexamethylenetetramine → 3,5-Difluoro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

TFA (7 mL) was added to 2,6-difluoro-phenol (1.0 g, 7.69 mmol) and hexam-ethylenetetraamine (1.08 g, 7.69 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 75˜80° C. for 12 hours. The reactant was cooled, diluted with water, and then extracted with DCM/MeOH (9:1) solution three or four times. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and DCM was added to the residue. The mixture was dried with MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The reaction product was used in the next step without a separate purification process.
