Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (5.00 g, 31.9 mmol) and pyridine (5.0 mL, 61.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL) at 0° C. was added acetic anhydride (4.0 mL, 42.3 mmol) over a 20-minute period. The mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours more, warmed to 20° C., then worked-up (10% hydrochloric acid wash) to afford 4-acetoxy-3-chlorobenzaldehyde as a pale-yellow solid (6.01 g, 92% yield): m.p. 33–35° C.; Rf0.30 (20% ethyl acetate/hexane); 1H NMR spectrum (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.39 (s, 3, CH3), 7.34 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1, ArH), 7.82 (dd, J=7.6,2 Hz, 1, ArH), 7.98 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1, ArH), 9.96 ppm (s, 1, CHO).
