Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3.05 g of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2.3 ml of bromoacetone and 30 ml of dimethylformamide was added 4.15 g of potassium carbonate, and this was heated and stirred at 70° C. for 30 minutes. After cooled to room temperature, insolubles were filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the resulting residue, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer washed successively with water and an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 0.76 g of oily 3-(2-oxo-propoxy)benzaldehyde [Compound No. (o)].
