Reaction Steps

The mixture of methyl 5-hydroxymethyl-3-iodobenzoate (5.0 g) and manganese dioxide (30.0 g) in ethyl acetate (50.0 ml) was heated under reflux for 4 hours. The magnganese dioxide was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give methyl 5-formyl-3-iodobenzoate (2.77 g).
