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 the reflux condition. When the reaction was completed, the obtained reaction product was cooled to the room temperature, and then, fiteated and concentrated using celite, to obtain the title compound (3.6 g, yield 91%).
