Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.8 mL (22.5 mmol) of chloroform in 10 mL DMF was added 1.4 g (10 mmol) of 3-methoxybenzaldehyde. The reaction mixture was chilled to 0° C. and a solution of 0.40 g (7 mmol) of potassium hydroxide in 1.8 mL of methanol was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at 0° C., then quenched by addition of 1 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH=7, then extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated. The product was used in the next step without further purification.
