Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (5.30 g, 18.9 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (15 mL) under nitrogen was added potassium carbonate (5.50 g, 19.9 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 10-15 min during which time vigorous effervescence was observed. 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (2.70 mL, 19.9 mL) was then added and the mixture was heated at 60° C. for 20 h. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated. The residual oil was then poured into water (100 mL) and the mixture was stirred for 1-2 h. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried under vacuum at 60° C. to leave 6.63 g (88%) of the title compound as a pale brown solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 3.82 (3 H, s), 5.06 (2 H, s), 7.02 (2 H, d), 7.53 (2 H, d), 8.24 (2 H, s), 9.95 (1 H, s).
