Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-benzylthiomethyl-3,3-dimethylbutanol (3.7 g) in dry dichloromethane (15 ml) was added to a mechanically stirred suspension of pyridinium chlorochromate (10 g) and sodium acetate (1 g) in dichloromethane (100 ml) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours and then diethylether (300 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was passed through a short column of silica and charcoal (1:1) and then evaporated in vacuo to leave 2-benzylthiomethyl-3,3-dimethylbutanal as an oil (1.42 g).
