Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(diethoxymethyl)-4-[(E)-3-(4-methylphenoxy)prop-1-en-1-yl]benzene (1.270 g) in THF (20 mL) was added 6 M HCl (4 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. To the mixture was added 5 M NaOH (4 mL), and the mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added saturated aqueous NaHCO3, and the mixture was extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4-[(E)-3-(4-methylphenoxy)prop-1-en-1-yl]benzaldehyde (0.942 g) as a colorless solid.
