Reaction Steps

87.65 g (1.01 mol) of manganese dioxide were added to a solution of 29.30 g of (4-t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-2-methoxyphenyl)methanol [prepared as described in step (i) above] in 150 ml of methylene chloride, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. At the end of this time, 41.2 g (0.474 mol) of manganese dioxide were added, with stirring, to the mixture. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 30° C. for 1.5 hours and heated under reflux for 1 hour with stirring, after which it was filtered. The filtrate was freed from the solvent by distillation under reduced pressure, to give 27.29 g (a quantitative yield) of the title compound as an oily substance.
