Benzaldehyde, 4-(2-methylpropyl)- → 3-(4-(2-Methylpropyl)phenyl)propanal

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Isobutyl 1-(3-methoxy-2-propen-1-yl)benzene was similarly prepared as described in Examples I and II. First, 4-isobutyl benzaldehyde (600 g, commercially available from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.) was used to obtain 3-(4-isobutyl-phenyl)-propionaldehyde (568 g) with a boiling point of 119° C. at a pressure of 5 mmHg. 3-(4-Isobutyl-phenyl)-propionaldehyde (345 g) was consequently used to provide 4-isobutyl 1-(3-methoxy-2-propen-1-yl)benzene (188 g) with a boiling point of 124° C. at a pressure of 4 mmHg.
