Procedure

p-Bromoanisole (15 g., 0.08 mole) in 350 ml. of methylene chloride was cooled to 0° C. Titanium tetrachloride (30 g., 17.4 ml., 0.16 mole) was added dropwise. After 10 minutes 1,1-dichloromethyl methyl ether (12.7 g., 0.088 mole) was added dropwise and the reaction stirred for 90 minutes at 0°-10° C., then quenched into excess saturated sodium bicarbonate and methylene chloride. The organic layer was separated and combined with a further methylene chloride extract of the aqueous phase. The combined organic layers were back washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo to yield 5-bromo-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (16.4 g., m.p. 107°-110° C.).
