m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 15042515, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.4 g (17 mmol) of 3,4-di(2-methoxyethoxymethoxy)benzaldehyde was dissolved in 216 ml of methylene chloride, and 80% m-chloroperbenzoic acid was added thereto. The mixture was refluxed at a boiling point for 20 hours. The reaction solution was washed with a sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and then dried. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 4.85 g (yield: 86%) of O-formyl-3,4-di(2-methoxyethoxymethoxy)phenol. The product was used for the subsequent reaction without purification.
