What do you suggest is the best route for synthesizing that compound? It is a very good starting point for TMA-6 analogs...

Do you have any *idea* how hard it is to synthesize that compound? 

Signs point toward no.

I have no time to look it up properly but how about:

1,3-dimethoxybenzene --> nitration
1-nitro-3,5-dimethoxybenzene --> reduction with e.g. SnCl2 or Fe/HCl/H2O
1-amino-3,5-dimethoxybenzene --> diazotisation and reflux in water
1-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzene --> Reimer-Tiemann perhaps
2,6-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde?

I have no clue how much of the wanted isomer would be produced in the last step since I imagine that 2,4-dimethoxy-6-hydroxybenzaldehyde would be the result as well.

Am I totally out in the blue here? crazy

How about this:

3,5-Dimethoxyphenol is commercially available, cost 25 g @ $ 58.70 (TCI).

1. Protect the OH of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with suitable group to direct
   the Reimer-Tiemann to the 4-position

2. Do the Reimer-Tiemann.

3. Deprotect.

>What could you possibly protect with to effect that? A very very bulky ester?

I see two possibilities: either steric hinderance as you suggest or making the phenolic OH as little phenolic as possible...or both. I'm not all that knowledgeable in theoretical chemistry, and there will be other bees better able to give well-founded advice. But what about a trifluoroacetic acid ester?

Like I said, there is no easy way to make 4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. 

However, if you've read _Pihkal_ enough by now, then you will know that 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde is synthetically accessible from 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene, which is itself accessible from certain natural products.

Also, olivetol is easily methoxylated and formylated to 4-(n)-pentyl-2,6-dimethoxybenzaldehyde.

      Olivetol  Bookmark   

Olivetol is about as hard to buy as it is to make. It's heavily watched because it's the main precursor for synthetic cannabinoids.
