Acetic Acid → 3-Bromo-5-ethyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde

反応手順

A solution of 2-bromo-6-ethylphenol 1 (3.8 g, 18.8 mmol) hexamethylene tetraamine (10.6 g, 75.4 mmol), and acetic acid (120 mL) was heated at reflux for 12 h. Most of the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was poured into water (500 nL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 until gas evolution ceased. The organic layer was washed with brine (1×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (SiO2, gradient elution 5 to 10% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield 2.0 g (46%) of 3-bromo-5-ethyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde 2 as a colorless solid.
