Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(3-methylthiophenyl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethanol (2.5 g, 10.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (150 mL) was added a mixture of celite (4.4 g) and pyridinium dichromate (4.4 g, 20.4 mmol). After stirring for 12 h, the mixture was filtered through celite. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a solvent gradient of 40-50% EtOAc/Hex to provide the title compound (144 mg, 5.5%): 1H NMR(CDCl3): δ8.88 (br d, 2H); 7.85 (s, 1H); 7.78 (d, 2H); 7.67(d, 1H); 7.56 (d, 1H); 7.44 (t, 1H); 2.55 (s, 3H).
