Reaction Steps

3-chloro-2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (2.75 g) is refluxed for 30 minutes in 20 ml of dichloroethane containing 1.8 g of AlCl3. The reaction mixture is then poured into H2O and extracted with CH2Cl2. Evaporation and recrystallization from isopropanol gives 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, mp 125° C.
