2,4-Difluorobenzaldehyde → HCID 54311230, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of benzyl propionylacetate (157 g, 0.758 mol), 2,4-difluorobenzaldehyde (107.65 g, 0.758 mol), and piperidinium acetate (5.49 g, 38 mmol) in benzene (1 L) were stirred at room temperature for 96 h. The mixture was washed with water (2×100 mL), dried (magnesium sulfate) and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to yield the product as a pale yellow syrup (251.2 g) which was used in the next step without further purification.
