Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-chloro-3-methoxy-2-pyridyl)-cyclopropyl-methanol (700 mg, 3.28 mmol) in DCM (20 ml), manganese (IV) oxide (4.6 g, 58 mmol) was added and stirred for 14 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered over Celite and the filtrate evaporated to dryness to obtain (4-chloro-3-methoxy-2-pyridyl)-cyclopropyl-methanone as a yellow oil (668 mg, 96%).
