Reaction Steps

Pyridinium dichromate (13.5 g, 0.036 mol) is added to a solution of t-butyl-(6-hydroxyhexyl)carbamate (5.88 g, 24 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 ml). After stirring for 24 hours, the reaction mixture is diluted with diethylether/pentane (1:1), filtered through Florisil and concentrated to yield t-butyl-(5-formylpentyl)carbamate (4.13 g, 80%).
