3-[(2-methylpropan-2-yl)oxy]benzaldehyde

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: EX-654B) The 3-t-butoxybenzaldehyde (0.585 g, 3.27 mmol) product from EX-654A and 3-phenoxyaniline (0.595 g, 3.21 mmol) were combined in 50 mL of THF, then solid NaBH(OAc)3 (0.860 g, 4.06 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred until uniform. Acetic acid (0.2 g, 3.33 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h, then quenched with 5% aq. NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted twice with ether. The combined ether layers were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated to give 1.29 g (115%) of crude product as a brown oil. Chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0-10% ethyl acetate in hexane gave 464 mg (40%) of the desired N-(3-phenoxyphenyl)[[3-(1,1-dimethyl-ethoxy)phenyl]methyl]amine product as a colorless oil, pure by TLC. MS m/z=347 [M+]. the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h quenched with 5% aq. NaHCO3 The aqueous layer was separated extracted twice with ether The combined ether layers were washed with water and brine dried over MgSO4 filtered evaporated to give 1.29 g (115%) of crude product as a brown oil

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: EX-654A) 3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (4.08 g, 33.4 mmol) was slurried in 50 mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2 and added to t-butyl-2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate (25.0 g, 114 mmol) in 200 mL of anhydrous cyclohexane with an additional 50 mL of CH2Cl2 used in transfer. The mixture was stirred under nitrogen until uniform, then boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (0.50 mL, 4 mmol) was added via syringe and stirring was continued for 1 h. Powdered sodium bicarbonate (50 g, 0.6 mol) was added, and the solution was filtered through a silica gel plug, washing the plug with hexane. The solvent was evaporated to give crude product 3.54 g (59%) as an amber oil (85% pure by GC analysis). Chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0-10% ethyl acetate in hexane gave 1.88 g (32%) of pure 3-t-butoxybenzaldehyde product as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (C6D6) δ9.59 (s, 1H), 7.44 (br s, 1H), 7.20 (d t, 1H), 6.92 (m, 2H), 1.07 (s, 9H). stirring the solution was filtered through a silica gel plug washing the plug with hexane The solvent was evaporated to give crude product 3.54 g (59%) as an amber oil (85% pure by GC analysis)
