4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → p-Octyloxycarbonyloxybenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Commercially available p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (50 g) was dissolved in pyridine (400 ml), followed by dropwise adding octyl chloroformate (85 g) under ice cooling, heating on a water bath, allowing to stand overnight, adding toluene (300 ml), further adding 6N-hydrochloric acid, separating the liquid layer, further washing with 2N-NaOH aqueous solution, washing with water, drying, and distilling off toluene to obtain a raw product of p-octyloxycarbonyloxybenzaldehyde (75 g).
