Allyl bromide → Benzaldehyde, 3-iodo-5-methoxy-4-(2-propenyloxy)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Allyl bromide (27.5 ml, 0.32 mol) was added to a solution of 5-iodovanillin (50.0 g, 0.18 mol) in DMF (200 ml) containing potassium carbonate (48 g, 0.35 mol) at 80° C. The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 1 hour, filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to a residue, which was purified by HPLC (hexane-ethyl acetate, 4:1, v/v) to give 4-allyloxy-5-iodo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde.
