Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3-chlorophenylmethyl)benzaldehyde ethylene acetal (19.9 g) in tetrahydrofuran (80 ml) was added dropwise 10% hydrochloric acid (25.0 ml). After stirring for 15 minutes under ice-cooling, tetrahydrofuran was removed by using a reduced pressure distillation, and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled away to give the title compound (16.72 g) at a quantitative yield.
