A solution of 300 g of 3-benzyloxy-4-hydroxybenzaldeyde (obtained as described in example 62) in 600 ml of dimethylformamide was added to a suspension of 34.6 g of sodium hydride in 346 ml of dimethylformamide under stirring in nitrogen atmosphere. After complete dissolution of sodium hydride 116 g of chloromethyl methyl ether were added; stirring was continued for 30 minutes. The mixture was then diluted with water and extracted with ethyl ether. The combined organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was distilled (b.p. 178°-183° C./0.1 mm Hg) to give 3-benzyloxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, m.p. 30° C. (from petroleum ether, b.p. 30°-70° C.).
