3-(4-Bromo-2-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-propan-1-ol → 3-(4-Bromo-2-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-propionaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(4-bromo-2-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-propan-1-ol (1.03 g, 3.44 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (47 mL) was cooled at 4° C. and added celite (1.4 g) and pyridinium chlorochromate (1.11 g, 5.16 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hr and filtered through a pad of celite, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 16% EtOAc in hexane) to give 3-(4-bromo-2-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-propionaldehyde (659 mg, 64%) as a colorless oil.
