Reaction Steps

To a mixed liquid of 2.95 g of ethyl 2-[3-(dibromomethyl)phenyl]-2-methylpropionate and 30 ml of acetic acid was added 4.77 g of potassium acetate, followed by stirring at 100° C. for 6 hours. After cooling the reaction solution, 10 ml of 6 M hydrochloric acid was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water, followed by extraction with hexane, and the organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was then evaporated to obtain 1.74 g of ethyl 2-(3-formylphenyl)-2-methylpropionate as a colorless oily substance.
