(3-Butoxy-4-iodophenyl)methanol → 3-Butoxy-4-iodobenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

89.5 g (0.875 mol, 7 eq) of manganese dioxide are added to a solution of 38.30 g (0.125 mol, 1 eq) of (3-butoxy-4-iodophenyl)methanol in 250 mL of dichloromethane. The reaction medium is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and then filtered through silica gel. The solvent is evaporated off and 29.61 g of 3-butoxy-4-iodobenzaldehyde are obtained in the form of an orange oil. Yield=78%
