Reaction Steps

A mixture of 78 g of 2-chloro-3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, 60.7 g of benzyl chloride, 3.9 g of sodium jodide, 74.6 g of potassium carbonate in 0.5 l of 95% ethanol was refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling the mixture was poured in water, the separated product was filtered and then recrystallized from absolute ethanol. 2-chloro-3-benzyloxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde was obtained, m.p. 86°-88° C.
