Reaction Steps

Manganese (IV) oxide (15.40 g, 177 mmol) was added portionwise to a stirred solution of (2-fluoro-3-iodophenyl)methanol (preparation 22c, 4.03 g, 16 mmol) in dichloromethane (140 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. After 3 hours, the mixture was filtered through Celite® and the solvent was evaporated to give the title compound (2.10 g, 53%) as a white solid.
