Procedure

A mixture of 3-chloro-5-methoxybenzyl alcohol (5.0 g, 28.9 mmol) and pyridinium chlorochromate (20% on alumina, 40 g, 37.8 mmol) was allowed to stir for 1.25 hr. Diethyl ether (200 ml) was then added followed by filtration of precipitate. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified via silica gel chromatography using 40% dichloromethane, 60% petroleum ether as eluant, to give 3.8 g of 3-chloro-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (78%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 3.84 (s, 3H) 7.13 (s, 1H), 7.28 (s, 1H), 7.41 (s, 1H), 9.89 (s, 1H).
