Procedure

To a solution of the compound (10) (4.9 g; 22.2 mmol) in acetone (90 ml), Jones reagent (chromic anhydride acid-sulfuric acid) (0.07 mol) is dropwise added, and the resultant mixture is stirred at a temperature of 0° to 10° C. for 2 hours. Methanol is dropwise added to the reaction mixture, which is poured into ice-water and extracted with chloroform. The extract is washed with water, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is chromatographed on a silica gel column to give 3-benzyloxymethylcyclohexanone (11).
