Procedure: To a solution of 2-hydroxybenzonitrile (4.70 g, 41.6 mmol) in acetic acid (40 mL) was added hexamethylenetetraamine (8.7 g, 62.4 mmol) and the mixture was heated to 120° C. for 2 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, followed by a standard aqueous/EtOAc workup and purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE:EA=1:1) to afford 5-formyl-2-hydroxybenzonitrile (Intermediate 47a) as a white powder (540 mg, 9%) and 3-formyl-2-hydroxybenzonitrile (Intermediate 47b) as a white powder (1.17 g, 19%). The mixture was cooled to room temperature purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE:EA=1:1)
