Acetic Acid → 6-Ethoxy-2,3-difluorobenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to the method described in example 52a, 4-ethoxy-1,2-difluoro-benzene (10 g, 63 mmol) prepared in example 91a was reacted with lithium diisopropylamine (39 mL, 1.8 M in THF, 70 mmol), N,N-dimethylformamide (5.88 mL, 76 mmol) and quenched with acetic acid (15.2 g, 253 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran to give 6-ethoxy-2,3-difluoro-benzaldehyde as a off white solid (Yield: 8.9 g, 76%).
