Participants

Reaction Steps

Alkylation reaction of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde with styrene oxide gave 3-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethoxy)benzaldehyde as a clear oil. Yield (0.9 g, 48%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.89 (s, 1H), 7.23-7.41 (m, 8H), 7.16 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 5.35 (dd, J=8.2, 3.4 Hz, 1H), 3.93-4.0 (m, 1H), 3.82-3.89 m, 1H).
