Procedure

To a stirred solution of 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2.9 g, 18.412 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was added K2CO3 (7.6 g, 55.238 mmol). CH3I (7.80 g, 55.238 mmol) was then added slowly at RT under an inert atmosphere. After addition was completed, the reaction mixture was brought to 80° C. and stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to obtain crude product. The crude material was purified via silica gel column chromatography to afford 3-chloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.78 g, 93%) as a yellow solid.
