Reaction Steps

20 g of 4-hydroxy-3,5-difluorobenzaldehyde are dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide, and potassium carbonate and benzyl chloride are added thereto. After the mixture is stirred at room temperature, water is added thereto. The mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate and evaporated to remove the solvent. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 17.4 g of 4-benzyloxy-3,5-difluorobenzaldehyde.
