Procedure
To a cold solution of 4′-trifluoromethoxy-biphenyl-4-carbaldehyde (0.9 g, 3.38 mmol) in acetone (10 mL) the Jone's reagent was added slowly at 0° C. drop wise until reaction completes. Acetone was removed completely and the residue was diluted with water, extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated to obtain the title compound (0.7 g, 77%).
