Procedure
To a cold solution of 3-methoxy-biphenyl-4-carboxaldehyde (0.32 g, 1.5 mmol) in acetone (10 mL), the Jone's reagent was added slowly drop wise at 0° C. until the reaction completes. Acetone was removed completely and the resulting residue was diluted with water, extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated to obtain the title compound (0.25 g, 73.5%)
