Reaction Steps

0.1 mL of 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid was added to a mixture of 82 mg of (4-chloro-4-phenylbutylidene)(methoxy)amine, 0.32 mL of a 36% formalin aqueous solution and 4 mL of acetone, and the obtained mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hours. Thereafter, hexane and water were added to the reaction mixture, and the water layer was then removed. The solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, so as to obtain 61 mg of 4-chloro-4-phenylbutanal in the form of a colorless oily product.
