Reaction Steps

A mixture of commercially available 2-fluoro-6-methoxybenzaldehyde (3.372 g; 21.90 mmol) and sodium hydroxide NaOH (10.208 g; 255.00 mmol) in EtOH (525 ml) was heated to 55° C. for 1 h. After cooling to rt, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water and DCM were added, and the aq. layer was further extracted with DCM. The mixed organic layers were dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure affording 2-ethoxy-6-methoxybenzaldehyde as a yellow oil. LC-MS (conditions A): tR=0.61 min.; [M+H]+: 181.13 g/mol.
