反応手順

17.1 g of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde are treated with 170 ml of constant-boiling hydrobromic acid and heated under reflux for 3.5 hours. After cooling the separated precipitate is filtered under suction, washed twice with ice-water and taken up in ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed twice with 50 ml of sodium chloride solution each time, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in a water-jet vacuum. The crystals obtained are taken up in methylene chloride, whereupon the solution is filtered over a ten-fold amount of silica gel. The material obtained is crystallized from ethyl acetate/isopropyl ether. There is obtained 3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde in the form of yellow crystals of m.p. 142°-143°.
