Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde was converted to 4-chloro-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxaldehyde by the method of S. T. Ross, R. G. Franz, J. W. Wilson, R. A. Hahn and H. M. Sarau, J. Heterocyclic Chemistry, (1986) 23, 1805. Reduction of the aldehyde was then carried out with sodium borohydride (1 equivalent) in THF at 0° C. to provide 4-chloro-1,3-benzodioxole-5-methanol (Examples 30A, 31 A).
