Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask, 2-iodobenzyl alcohol (4 g, 17.09 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (MC, 85 ml), and then, manganese oxide (MnO2, 14.86 g, 170.92 mmol) was added thereto. The obtained reaction product was stirred under reflux. When the reaction was completed, the obtained reaction product was cooled to room temperature, and then, filtered and concentrated using celite, to obtain the title compound (3.6 g, yield 75˜90%).
