HCID 162440874-(3,5-Dichlorophenoxy)benzaldehyde

Procedure

Using 3,5-dichlorophenol and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde, the reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Reference Example 1 to obtain 4-(3,5-dichlorophenoxy)benzaldehyde. Subsequently, the same procedure as in Reference Example 99 was followed using sodium borohydride in place of the lithium aluminum hydride. This gave 4-(3,5-dichlorophenoxy)benzyl alcohol. The resulting alcohol (2.03 g), along with carbon tetrabromide (2.75 g), was dissolved in methylene chloride (30 mL). While this solution was stirred at 0° C., triphenyl phosphine (2.17 g) was added. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour and at room temperature for the subsequent 30 min. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified on a silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=20:1) to give the desired product as a colorless oil (3.12 g).
