Reaction Steps

A solution of 2 g (13.49 mmol) of 4-tert-butyltoluene is mixed with 5.65 g (13.49 mmol) of benzyltrimethylammonium tetrachloroiodate and stirred at 70° C. for 24 hours. After cooling, the precipitate is filtered off with suction and the filtrate is concentrated. The resulting residue is purified over silica gel (mobile phase: cyclohexane). 1.53 g (8.4 mmol) of the title compound are obtained.
