Participants

Reaction Steps

One heats for 2 hours under reflux and stirring a mixture of 5-butoxy 4-hydroxy 2-nitro benzaldehyde (31 g, 0.13 mole) of benzyl chloride (20.2 g, 0.18 mole) and of potassium carbonate (22.11 g, 0.16 mole), in 80 ml of dimethylformamide. One pours the reacting mixture in 200 ml ice cold water and filters the precipitate. One obtains after recrystallization in a mixture of hexane-toluene the 4-benzyloxy 5-butoxy 2-nitro benzaldehyde (30.2 g, yield 71%, yellow powder) fusion=94° C.
