Making Bromovanillin: A Precursor To Substituted Benzaldehydes

In todays video I will show you how to make bromovanillin which is a precursor to other substituted benzaldehydes. You could for example make hydroxyvanillin from it. Bromovanillin is made by dissolving vanillin in methanol and brominating it by slowly adding toxic bromine. These react and you get bromovanillin. Crash it out with water, filter, wash and you are finished.
