1-chloro-4-(methoxymethyl)benzene → 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same manner as in Example 3, the operation was conducted, except that 0.63 g (4 mmols) of p-chlorobenzyl methyl ether was used in place of m-methoxybenzyl alcohol and also 0.2 g (1.35 mmols) of sodium bromate was used. With respect to the components in the reaction solution, the intended p-chlorobenzaldehyde was produced in an area ratio, as determined by gas chromatography, of 91.0%.
