Reaction Steps

The 3,5-difluorobenzaledehyde used as a starting compound can be prepared as follows: 3,5-difluorophenylmagnesiumbromide can be prepared as described by A. Roe and W. F. Little: J.Org.Chem. 20 (1955) 1577. A solution of 3,5-difluorophenylmagnesiumbromide in diethylether is added dropwise to a solution of N-methylformanilide in tetrahydrofuran. By working up this reaction mixture, 3,5-difluorobenzaldehyde is obtained. b55 =86°-88° C.
