Abstract

Aromatic dialdehydes were synthesized from 5-t-butylsalicylaldehyde and o-vanilline in good yields using paraformaldehyde, hydrobromic acid and catalytic amounts of sulfuric acid in one step which was previously unavailable with present methods.

Keywords

aromatic dialdehydes , bromomethylation , 5-t-butylsalicylaldehyde , o-vanilline.
