反応手順

150 g of potassium carbonate and 4 g of finely powdered potassium iodide are added to a solution of 112 g (0.6 mole) of 4-phenoxyphenol and 157.6 g (0.8 mole) of bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal in 480 ml of dimethylformamide, and the batch is heated, under nitrogen, for 14 hours at 150° C. The salts are then removed by filtration from the reaction solution, and most of the dimethylformamide is distilled off in a water jet vacuum. The residue is dissolved in ether and the resultant solution is washed twice with water, three times with 20% potassium hydroxide solution and again with water. The ethereal solution is then dried over sodium sulfate and the ether is distilled off entirely. The resultant 4-phenoxyphenoxyacetaldehyde diethyl acetal is used without further purification for the preparation of the free aldehyde.
