Procedure
A heterogenous mixture of methanol (2 ml), CH2Cl2 (3 ml), 4-chloro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (2 g, 11.7 mmol; prepared essentially as described by R. M. Riggs et al., J. Med. Chem., 30 1887, 1987.), trimethyl orthoformate (1.7 ml, 15.5 mmol) and a large crystal of p-toluenesulfonic acid was stirred at room temperature for one hour. Additional MeOH (1 ml) and a crystal of p-toluenesulfonic acid were added and the solution was warmed until homogenous. Upon completion of the reaction, the solution was stirred 5 min with excess solid NaHCO3 and rotory evaporated to remove solvents. The paste was dissolved in 40 ml EtOAC, partitioned against dilute NaHCO3 solution, and evaporated to yield a light brown oil. The reaction was repeated with another 2 g of 4-chloro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and both product oils were combined to give 4.37 g (86%) of dimethyl acetal 3.
