Reaction Conditions

Temperature0 °C

Reaction Steps

1.5 g of o-anisaldehyde are dissolved in THF and cooled to 0° C. 24.2 ml of 4-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide (0.5 M in THF) are added to the mixture. The reaction solution is stirred at room temperature overnight and then poured into a 20% NH4Cl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. 2.63 g of the product are obtained, and this can be employed without further purification.C15H16O3 (244.29) MS (ESI+) 227.05 (M−OH)+
