3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → 3-(3-Methoxypropoxy)benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Alkylation of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (11) with methanesulfonic acid 3-methoxypropyl ester following the method used in Example 34 except that the reaction solvent was DMF gave 3-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzaldehyde as a clear oil. Yield (1.32 g, 55%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.97 (s, 1H), 7.40-7.47 (m, 3H), 7.15-7.20 (m, 1H), 4.12 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 3.56 (t, J=6.2 Hz, 2H), 3.35 (s, 3H), 2.05-2.11 (m, 2H).
