In this case, 4-bromobutylbenzene is acylated with acetyl chloride and aluminum chloride; the resulting acetophenone is oxidized with sodium hypobromite to the benzoic acid, and this compound is esterified with ethanol and mineral acid to afford ethyl 4-(4-bromobutyl)benzoate. This ester is treated with the anion prepared from methyl methylthiomethyl sulfoxide and a strong base such as sodium hydride. The resulting dimethylmercaptal S-oxide is hydrolyzed with acid catalysis to the aldehyde intermediate XXI.
