Reaction Steps

3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (5.00 g,30.12 mmole), 1,3-propanediol (9.15 g, 120.5 mmole), pyridinium para-toluenesulfonate (3.02 g, 12.05 mmole) and 80 ml dry benzene were refluxed with Dean-Stark removal of the benzene-water azeotrope for 12 hours. The benzene was removed in vacuo and the remaining oil redissolved in dichloromethane and was washed with 10% NaHCO3 and H2O. The organic layer was washed over Na2SO4 and concentrated to an oil in vacuo which was purified by flash column chromatography using 2:1 hexane/ethyl acetate containing 0.5% triethylamine as eluent. (5.731 g, 85%).
