1-(3-Fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-2-pentanol → 1-(3-Fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-pentan-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

102 mg of 1-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-2-pentanol, 122 mg of PCC, and 100 mg of MS-4A were dissolved in 1 mL of dichloromethane, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction liquid was filtered, water was added to the filtrate, followed by extraction with chloroform, and the organic layer was then washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was purified using PLC (chloroform alone) to obtain 36 mg (yield 36%) of a title compound as a pale yellow oily substance.
