(3-Bromo-4-chlorophenyl)methanol → 3-Bromo-4-chlorobenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-4-chlorobenzyl alcohol (2.73 g, 12.34 mmol) in dichloromethane (75 mL) was added, at room temperature, pyridinium chlorochromate (2.66 g, 12.34 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr then filtered over celite. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue chromatographed on silica gel (10% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford 2.52 g of 3-bromo-4-chloro-benzaldehyde (93% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz; CDCl3) 1H NMR (300 MHz; CDCl3) 7.65 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H); 7.78 (dd, J1=8.4 Hz, J2=2.1 Hz, 1H); 8.12 (d J=2.1 Hz, 1H).
