Reaction Steps

To concentrated nitric acid (200 ml.) maintained at 0° C. is added 3-benzyloxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (48 g., 0.198 mole) over a 30 minute period with stirring. When addition is complete, the temperature is allowed to rise to 15° C. and stirring continued for another 30 minutes. The mixture is then added to ice-water and the yellow precipitate collected by filtration and dried. Yield = 52.8g. (94%); m.p. 131°-132° C.
