Reaction Steps

3-Benzoylbenzyl alcohol (2.0 g) in acetone (10 ml) was treated dropwise at 15°-20° C. with chromic acid solution. After stirring for 5 minutes, water (50 ml) was added and the mixture extracted with ether. The ethereal solution was washed with saturated Na2CO3, saturated NaCl, dried (Na2SO4), evaporated and distilled; b.p. 160°-170° C./0.08 mm, (1.1 g).
