4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-benzaldehyde

4-(3-Fluorobenzyloxy)benzaldehyde is useful for organic reactions and synthesis.

4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-benzaldehyde is synthesized by the reaction of 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde with 3-fluorobenzyl bromide. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-fluorobenzyl bromide, potassium carbonate, and acetone were sequentially added to a single-neck round bottom flask. Reaction at 60 ° C for 5 h. Cool to room temperature, filter, and collect the filtrate.Purification by direct column chromatography. 4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-benzaldehyde was obtained as a white solid (1.78 g, 94.4%).
