Participants

Reaction Steps

This cyclohexane derivative (11.8 g, 30 mmols) was dissolved in toluene (100 ml), followed by adding formic acid (5 ml), heating the mixture under reflux for 5 hours, washing the reaction mixture with water after completion of the stirring, drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, concentrating under reduced pressure and isolating the resulting yellow oil to obtain 3-(4-(4-(4-propylphenyl)phenyl)cyclohexyl)propanal. This product is used in the subsequent reaction with any purification.
