3-(5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)propan-1-ol → 3-(5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)propan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of α-(4-fluorophenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-2-propanol (Step 3) (2.6 g, 10.7 mmol) in methylene chloride (100 ml), pyridinium chlorochromate (3.5 g, 16.05 mmol) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 3 hr, the reaction mixture was diluted with ether and filtered through a short silica gel column. The column was eluted with ether and the fractions containing 3-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)propan-1-one were combined and concentrated (2.2 g, 85%): mp (DSC) 65° C. Anal Calc'd. for C15H19FO3: C, 67.65; H, 7.19. Found: C, 67.21; H, 7.43.
