3,3-Bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-ethyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-propenol → 3,3-Bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-ethyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-propenal

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyridinium chlorochromate (0.9 g) was added to a solution of 0.8 g (2.3 mmoles) of the 3,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-ethyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-propenol in methylene chloride. The solution became bright yellow and then darkened with the formation of a dark gummy precipitate. After stirring at room temperature for 16 hours, the mixture was poured directly onto a silica gel column and eluted with methylene chloride to give 0.65 g (83%) of the title compound; m.p.=144°-145° C.
