Procedure: 216.00 g of aluminum chloride (mol. Wt. 133.34; 1,619.9 mmol), 109.09 g (4-Methylanisole (mol. Wt. 122.17; 892.9 mmol), and about 522.35 g of 2-chlorotoluene (mol. Wt. 126.59; 4,126.3 mmol) were charged to a 2 liter Parr®-brand 4522 stainless steel reaction vessel. To this mixture was added 5 drops of concentrated HCl. The vessel was sealed, heated to 30° C., and purged three times with carbon monoxide with the pressure of the vessel increased to 100 psi for each purging. After the third purge, the vessel was vented and a final introduction of CO was made at a pressure of about 550 psi, the pressure at which the reaction was maintained for the total reaction time of about 66 hours (the reaction temperature was maintained at 30° C. for the duration as well). Once the reaction was complete, the resultant mixture (exhibiting a dark orange color) was poured into about 500 mL of ice water (which turned the solution a yellow color), to which was added 500 mL of cyclohexane. The top, organic layer was removed and washed three times with water using a separatory funnel and dried over magnesium sulfate. The residual organic phase was then distilled under vacuum to remove excess cyclohexane, 2-chlorotoluene, and left about 76.01 g of a benzaldehyde mixture consisting of 4-chloro-3-methylbenzaldehyde (76.5%) and 3-chloro-4-methylbenzaldehyde (23.5%) (mol. Wt. 154.59; 491.7 mmol; yield of approximately 67.6%). The vessel was sealed purged three times with carbon monoxide with the pressure of the vessel increased to 100 psi for each purging After the third purge the pressure at which the reaction was maintained for the total reaction time of about 66 hours (the reaction temperature was maintained at 30° C. for the duration as well) was poured into about 500 mL of ice water (which was added 500 mL of cyclohexane The top, organic layer was removed washed three times with water using a separatory funnel dried over magnesium sulfate The residual organic phase was then distilled under vacuum to remove excess cyclohexane, 2-chlorotoluene left about 76.01 g of a benzaldehyde mixture

Procedure: To a solution of 3-chloro-4-methylbenzyl alcohol (2.00 g) and triethylamine (8.9 ml) in a dimethyl sulfoxide (10 ml) was added sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (4.47 g) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, and extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, saturated brine and a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give the objective compound (1.40 g) as a pale-yellow oil. cooling extracted with ether The organic layer was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, saturated brine a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure

Procedure: In a solution of 5.0 g of 3-chloro-4-methylbenzaldehyde in 40 mL of methanol and 30 mL of water, 4.7 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride was added, and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with 70 mL of ethyl acetate, washed with water (30 mL×1), and then dehydrated with and dried over saturated sodium chloride and anhydrous sodium sulfate in that order, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 5.1 g of the aimed product as white crystal. The resulting product was used as such without purification for the next step. After the completion of the reaction washed with water (30 mL×1) dried over saturated sodium chloride and anhydrous sodium sulfate in that order the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure

The reaction mixture was then filtered hot through Hyflo, and the residue was washed well with hot ethanol. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a sticky solid. Distillation of this solid afforded 3-chloro-4-methylbenzaldehyde as a colourless oil, b.p. 73°-74°/0.8 mmHg. heated under reflux for 2 h The reaction mixture was then filtered hot through Hyflo the residue was washed well with hot ethanol The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a sticky solid Distillation of this solid
