Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

IBX (7.45 g, 26.6 mmol) was added to (4-bromobiphenyl-2-yl)methanol (3.5 g, 13.30 mmol) in dmso (40 mL) and stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled in an ice bath and diluted with water and diethyl ether. The ether layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 4-bromobiphenyl-2-carbaldehyde (3.32 g, 12.71 mmol, 96% yield) as an orange oil.
