Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.99 g of 3-(bromomethyl)benzaldehyde, 0.80 g of sodium hydroxide and 8 ml of ethylene glycol was heated at 55° C. for 6 hours. After water was added, the mixture was extracted with chloroform and then washed with an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution. After dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentration under reduced pressure, the resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 0.79 g of oily 3-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]benzaldehyde [Compound No. (g)].
