Reaction Steps

A suspension of sodium acetate (6.56 g, 0.08 mol) and pyridinium chlorochromate (17.2 g, 0.08 mol) in dry methylene chloride (200 ml) was cooled in an ice bath under a nitrogen atmosphere and treated with a solution of 2-(2-dioxolanyl)benzyl alcohol (9.6 g, 0.053 mol) in methylene chloride (25 ml) over a 15 minute period. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and diluted with ether (200 ml). The solid was collected and washed with ether, and the filtrate was washed with 5% NaHCO3 and brine and dried. The solution was evaporated to give the title aldehyde; 7.8 g (82%).
