Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.9 kg of 4-(1-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and 1.8 kg of water were refluxed (bottom temperature 87° C.) for about 1 hour, while stirring. Thereafter, the mixture was cooled to about 25° C., the phases were separated and the organic phase was distilled under a top pressure of 4 mbar and at 105°-108° C. (top temperatures). This gave 1,314.6 kg of 4-(1-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-benzaldehyde.
