Procedure

A solution of n-butyllithium in hexanes (14.82 mL; 2.5M) is added to a solution of 4-bromo-2-prop-2-yloxythioanisole (8.8 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (70 mL), whilst cooling the mixture to −70° C. under nitrogen. The mixture is stirred for 1 hour at −70° C. Dry dimethylformamide (5.22 mL) and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (8.29 mL) are added sequentially and the mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture is poured into water and the product is extracted with dichloromethane. The extract is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo, and the residue is subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel, eluting with a mixture of pentane and ethyl acetate (9:1 v/v) to give 4-methylthio-3-prop-2-yloxybenzaldehyde, in the form of a soft yellow solid, m.p. 50-54° C.
