Reaction Steps

13.8 g (0.1 mol) 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde are dissolved in 150 ml acetone, 17.1 g (0.1 mol) benzylbromide and 13.8 g (0.1 mol) potassium carbonate are added, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 d. After filtration, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residual crude product further purified by column chromatography on silica gel using dichloromethane as eluent.
