Procedure

To a solution of 4-phenylbutanol (1 g) in dichloromethane (35 mL) at 0° C. was added PDC (7.5 g). The resulting suspension was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. The reaction solution was then filtered through a pad of silica gel. Concentration of the filtrate and flash chromatography of the residue (20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) provided 4-phenylbutanal (237 mg) as a colorless oil.
