Formaldehyde → Butanal, 2-methylene-4-(phenylmethoxy)-

関与物質

反応手順

8.0 g (44.9 mmol) of 4-benzyloxybutanal, 4.12 g (50.6 mmol) of dimethylammonium chloride and 3.95 ml (52.6 mmol) of 37% formaldehyde solution are kept at a bath temperature of 110° for one hour with stirring. The mixture is allowed to cool and is extracted three times with ether. The organic phases are washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated by evaporation. 4-benzyloxy-2-methylenebutanal is obtained in the form of a yellowish oil which can be reacted further without further purification.
