2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanal

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

Procedure: 4-hydroxyphenylpropionaldehyde was prepared by a synthesis analogous to that for 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (Heterocycles, 2000, 53, 777-784). 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol (1.0 g, 6.6 mmol, Aldrich) was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (8 mL, Aldrich). TEA (2.0 mL, 14 mmol, Aldrich) was added slowly with stirring. Pyridine-sulfur trioxide (SO3.py) complex (2.3 g, 15 mmol, Aldrich) was completely dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (9 mL, Aldrich) and this solution was added drop-wise to the alcohol, with vigorous stirring. After stirring for 1 h at room temperature, the reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2, then washed with ice-cold water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness. Purification using silica gel chromatography with hexane-ethyl acetate as eluent (5:1, then 2:1) yielded 745 mg (75%) of 4-hydroxyphenylpropionaldehyde. After stirring for 1 h at room temperature washed with ice-cold water The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 filtered concentrated to dryness Purification
