Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.23 g (7.71 mmol) of methyl 4-(7-cyano-3-hydroxymethylheptyl)benzoate in 100 ml of dichloromethane is mixed with 1.99 g (9.26 mmol) of pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) and stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. After conversion is complete, the solvent is concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The resulting residue is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 10:1→4:1). 1.50 g (9.09 mmol, 68% of theory) of an oil are obtained.
