Procedure
36 g (0.17 mol) of 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzoic acid was dissolved in 500 mL of trifluoroacetic acid. 112 g (0.80 mol) of 1,3,5,7-tetraaza-tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane (urotropine) was added and the resulting mixture heated to 100° C. for 23 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to half its volume and the residual liquid poured into 1.8 L of dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid and stirred for 8 h at ambient temperature. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and crystallized from aqueous ethanol to afford 20.3 g (82.9 mmol, 50%) of 5-bromo-3-formyl-2-hydroxy-benzoic acid a pale yellow crystalline solid. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ 10.29 (s, 1H), 8.13 (d, 1H), 7.95 (d, 1H); MS: m/z 242.9+244.9 (M−H+).
