A series of-hydroxyaldehydes havebeen prepared in 33-62% yield via the hydrolysis of the corresponding dichloromethylcarbinols. The latter compounds were conveniently prepared by the addition of dichloromethyl-lithium to the appropriate ketone at—100 in tetrahydrofuran. The glycolic aldehydes were oxidized to the corresponding glycolic acids by cold, neutral potassium permanganatein yieldsof 40-55%. Hydrolysis of tri-chloromethylcarbinoLs, obtained by the addition of trichloromethyllithium and theappropriate ketone, resulted in the elimination of chloroform to regenerate the parent ketone.The syntheses of-hydroxyaldehydes havebeen severely limited in the past. Freon2 has added Gri-gnard reagents to the oximes of difficultly accessible-keto aldehydes to yield-hydroxyaldoximes which could then be hydrolyzed by acid to the corresponding-hydroxyaldehyde in low yields. Also, the hydrolysis of-haloaldehydes3’4 affords-hydroxyaldehydes in low yields.
