Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Phenyl-2-butyn-1-ol (550 mg; 3.76 mmol, obtained as described in Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr, 1954, 816) was dissolved in DCM (10 mL) and MnO2 (1.64 g; 18.8 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at rt and the reaction was monitored by TLC (EtOAc/c-Hex 10/90, staining with iodine). MnO2 was regularly added (1.64 g; 18.8 mmol; three times). MnO2 was removed by filtration on a bed of celite. After washing the celite with DCM, the filtrates were then concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the crude by flash chromatography on silica (gradient EtOAc/c-Hex 5:95 to 30:70) gave the title compound as an range oil (60 mg, 11% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 9.22 (s, 1H), 7.26 (m, 5H), 3.80 (s, 2H).
