Reaction Steps

(E)-7-Phenyl-7-(3-pyridyl)-6-hepten-1-ol (1.2 g, 4.5 mmoles) was added to formic acid (10 ml) and the mixture was refluxed for 7 hours. After cooling, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting oil was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using isopropyl ether-ethyl acetate (1:1) as the eluent to give 1-formyloxy-(E)-7-phenyl-7-(3-pyridyl)-6-heptene (1.2 g, 91%) (Compound Id-20) as an oil.
