5-Bromovanillin → 5-Bromo-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 3-bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (12.1 g, 0.52 mol) in dichloromethane (200 ml) was added 1.0 M boron tribromide in dichloromethane (2.2 eq, 115 ml) at 0°. The reaction was stirred at 0° for 20 min, then at ambient temperature for 2.5 h. The reaction was then cooled to 0°, and quenched by the slow addition of methanol. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the trimethyl borate was removed by azeotropation with added methanol. Drying in vacuo yielded the desired product (11.51 g, 100%).
