Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol (10 g, 44 mmol) in dichloromethane (80 mL) was added PCC (14 g, 65 mmol) in portions at 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours, and then filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by MPLC on silica gel (eluting with 1-2% EtOAc/hexane) to afford the title compound as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.49 (s, 1H), 7.52 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 7.17 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 1.43 (s, 6H).
