Reaction Steps

3-Bromopentane (1.2 mL, 9.9 mmol) was added to a suspension of vanillin (1.0 g, 6.6 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.7 g, 20 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) and treated according to Procedure 3. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography with 10% EtOAc/petrol as eluent to give 3-methoxy-4-(pent-3-yloxy)benzaldehyde (0.69 g, 47%) as a pale yellow oil; δH (400 MHz, CDCl3) 0.96 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 6H, CH3), 1.73 (m, 4H, CH2), 3.88 (s, 3H, OCH3), 4.23 (m, 1H, OCH), 6.94 (d, J5,6=8.0 Hz, 1H, H5), 7.40 (s, 1H, H2), 7.41 (d, J5,6=8.0 Hz, 1H, H6), 9.81 (s, 1H, CHO); δC (100 MHz, CDCl3) 9.6, 26.1, 56.0, 81.9, 109.8, 113.1, 126.5, 129.7, 150.5, 154.0, 190.7; vmax 1133, 1263, 1504, 1582, 1682, 2967 cm−1.
