Ethylene Glycol → 1,3-Dioxolane, 2-(3-bromo-4-methylphenyl)-

참여 물질

반응 단계

11.8 g (60 mmol) of 3-bromo-4-methylbenzaldehyde are placed in 150 ml of toluene in a round-bottomed flask and under nitrogen. 16.5 ml (300 mmol) of ethylene glycol and 571 mg (3 mmol) of para-toluenesulfonic acid are added. The mixture is refluxed for 36 hours and the water formed is separated out using Dean-Stark apparatus. At room temperature, the reaction medium is poured into saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and then extracted with ether. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. 13 g (89%) of the expected product are obtained in the form of a brown oil.
