Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of crude 1-(4-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)ethanol oil (from Step 1) in DCM (100 mL) was added pyridinium dichromate (8.96 g, 23.82 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the mixture was added celite, the reaction mixture was filtered through a celite pad and rinsed several times with DCM. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography [SiO2, 40 g, heptane/ethyl acetate] providing 1-(4-bromo-3-fluorophenyl)ethanone (3.08 g) as a white solid.
