Synthsys of 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde
I'm working on creating 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde from 3,4-dimethoxyphenol. (created by methylation then oxidation of vanillin) what in
trying to predict is if I'm using a reimer-timann or duff formylation, which side of the hydroxyl it will most likely attack, if there's a way to
increase the yeld of the 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxy product over the 2,3-methoxy-6-hydroxy byproduct. Does anyone know how to predict that? I'm also open
to suggestions for other formylation reactions if anyone knows of more selective or higher yealding options.
Also, FIRST POST WOO!

Both should give you what you want.If you want ease of synthesis,do RT.For higher yield,go for duff.
another method using DMF - https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja9050444

That's an idea, although I started to look at other synthsyses of coumarin and realised it would be a lot easier to synth 6-bromo veratraldehyde from
vanillin and then do the copper catalyzed conversion to the phenol instead, it may be better yealding as well.

you can make coumarin from vanillin in 3 steps-
1.methylate the OH -

2.Convert the CHO to OH -https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004040200...
3.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pechmann_condensation
alternatively,you can make it in one step from esculetin-https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/cmdc.2010002...

I actully wasn't planing on synthesizing coumarin, it's just that your post
made me realise that my target was a potential intermediate in it's synthesis so I just started looking there. Although I just may give it a try,
highly florescent compounds have always fascinated me.

I don't understand.What's you target compound ?
