Procedure

A mixture of 2-fluorophenethyl alcohol (Intermediate C1) (commercially available from Aldrich) (2.8 g, 20 mmol) in CH2Cl2 at −10° C. was oxidized by action of pyridinium chlorochromate: PCC (5 g, 23 mmol) in the presence of Celite (10 g) for 1 h at −10° C. and a couple hours at rt. The mixture was filtered through silica gel and the solvent was removed under vacuum to give (2-fluoro-phenyl)-acetaldehyde (Intermediate C2) 2.8 g (99%).
