Benzyl Bromide → HCID 976942, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 4-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (300 mg, 1.55 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.43 g, 3.1 mmol) in 1.6 mL of acetone was added benzyl bromide (300 mg, 1.55 mmol) at 0° C. After being stirred at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove inorganic salts. The filtrate was diluted with diethyl ether, and the solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution, brine, and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=90/10) to obtain the title compound as a yellow oil (292 mg, 67%).
