Abstract

A process for the purification of 2-methoxy-5-trifluoro-methoxy benzaldehyde oil in which the oil is converted to amine by reaction of a nitroaniline with the oil; the imine is isolated as a solid; and the solid imine is converted back to the 2-methoxy-5-trifluoromethoxy benzaldehyde oil. The nitroaniline is selected from the group consisting of 3-nitroaniline, 3-methyl-2-nitroaniline, 4-methyl-2-nitroaniline, 2 methyl-3-nitroaniline and 4-methyl-3-nitroaniline.
