Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-fluoro-3-methylphenol (36.7 g), potassium hydroxide pellets (19.5 g) and bromoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (34.6 ml) in dimethyl sulphoxide (240 ml) was heated at 110° for 24 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with water (350 ml) and extracted with hexane. Evaporation of the extracts gave the title compound as an oil (52.3 g).
