Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-1-hexanol (3 g) in methylene chloride (200 ml) was added to a well-stirred suspension of pyridinium chlorochromate (5.1 g) and sodium acetate (2.5 g) in methylenechloride (150 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours. Ether (100 ml) was added, and the brown granular preiipitate was removed by filtration. All volatiles were removed from the filtrate, and the residual liquid was purified by chromtography on silica gel using ether as eluent. The desired ketone, 3-hexanoylphenol, was isolated as a clear, colorless oil.
