反応手順

114 g of hexamethylenetetramine were added to a solution of 20 g of 4-ethylphenol in 400 ml of AcOH. The reaction solution was stirred for 5 hrs. at 100° C. Then, 150 ml of H2O and 150 ml of 25% HCl solution were added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hr. at 100° C. Then, it was left to cool to room temperature. The crude product was isolated by extraction with diethyl ether and purified by chromatography on silica gel. There were obtained 8.6 g of 5-ethyl-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde as a light yellow liquid.
