Benzyl Bromide → HCID 23034795, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 9 g quantity of 4-difluoromethoxy-3-hydroxy benzaldehyde was dissolved in 180 ml of acetonitrile, and 13.1 g of potassium carbonate and 8.6 ml of benzyl bromide were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. After insolubles were removed by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to give 11.9 g of colorless oily 3-benzyloxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzaldehyde.
