Acetone → HCID 66611520, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2,6-difluorobenzaldehyde (10.0 g, 70 mmol) in acetone (85 mL) was added sodium hydroxide (1 N solution, 106 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 1.5 h, the reaction mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and extracted with chloroform (2×150 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting material was purified by MPLC (0 to 20% gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes as eluant) to afford the title product as a solid (8.1 g).
