Procedure: To a solution of 3-hydroxy-5-methoxy-benzaldehyde (12.0 g, 78.9 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (50 mL) was added [1,3]dioxolan-2-one (13.9 g, 157.0 mmol) and potassium carbonate (21.6 g, 157.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was then heated to 110° C. for 16 hours, then cooled to room temperature. Solid potassium carbonate was filtered and washed with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was collected and solvent was removed. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 230-400 mesh; eluting with 7:1 dichloromethane and ethyl acetate) to give 3-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-5-methoxy-benzaldehyde as a brown liquid. Yield: 10.0 g (65%). cooled to room temperature Solid potassium carbonate was filtered washed with ethyl acetate The organic phase was collected solvent was removed The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 230-400 mesh; eluting with 7:1 dichloromethane and ethyl acetate)

Procedure: To a 1.0-L three-neck flask was added sodium ethanethiolate (80%, 28.5 g, 271.0 mmol) and anhydrous DMF (225 mL). The mixture was heated to 145° C. for 1.5 hours; then, a solution of 3,5-dimethoxy-benzaldehyde (15.0 g, 90.0 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (350 mL) was added over a period of 8 minutes. The reaction was kept at 145° C. for 1 hour, then cooled to room temperature. Saturated sodium chloride solution (2.5 L) and formaline (37%, 240 mL), together with acetic acid (500 mL), was added. The resulting solution was thoroughly extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Solvent was removed under vacuum, and the crude compound was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 230-400 mesh; eluting with 7:1 dichloromethane and ethyl acetate) to give 3-hydroxy-5-methoxy-benzaldehyde as a white solid. Yield: 12.0 g (88%). cooled to room temperature The resulting solution was thoroughly extracted with ethyl acetate the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate Solvent was removed under vacuum the crude compound was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 230-400 mesh; eluting with 7:1 dichloromethane and ethyl acetate)
