Reaction Steps

At 100° C., 167.0 g of 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 311.0 g of potassium carbonate, and 211.0 g of benzyl chloride are agitated in 2 l of dimethylformamide for 16 hours. The resultant reaction mixture is poured into 10 l of water, the thus-separated solid product is filtered off and recrystallized from ethanol, yielding 215.0 g of 4-benzyloxy-3-nitrobenzaldehyde, mp 100°-102° C.
