“…and concentrated to give the crude residue, which was recrystallized with EtOAc and n-hexane to afford benzaldehyde 21 (8.5 g, 93% yield) as a white solid: 14 mp 70−71 °C; 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 , 400 MHz) δ 3.90 (s, 6H), 5.05 (s, 2H), 6.44 (s, 1H), 6.76 (s, 1H), 10.46 (s, 1H); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3 , 100 MHz) δ 44.8, 55. 6, 56.0, 97.6, 107.5, 115.9, 142.3, 165.0, 165.3, 189.9. 7-Hydroxy-5-methoxyisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (22). To a stirred solution of 21 (9.7 g, 45.2 mmol) in dry DCM (180 mL) at 0 °C was added BCl 3 (1 M in DCM, 60 mL, 60 mmol) under N 2 .…”
