Participants

Reaction Steps

(1,3-Dihydro-isobenzofuran-5-yl)-methanol (440 mg, 2.9 mmol) was dissolved in 20 ml of DCM. 1,1,1-Triacetoxy-1,1-dihydro-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (Dess-Martin reagent) (1.3 g, 3.2 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at r.t. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ether and extracted 2× with NaOH 1N, 2× with H2O and dried over MgSO4. The crude product was sufficiently pure and used without any further purification.
