Procedure

To a solution of (4-chloro-3,5-diethoxy-phenyl)-methanol (4.0 g, 17.34 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (40 mL) was added activated MnO2 (15.08 g, 173.4 mmol, 10.0 equiv) and the reaction mixture stirred for 18 h at rt. Filtration through Hyflo Super Cel and purification of the crude material by silica column chromatography using a MPLC system (CombiFlash Companion, Isco Inc.) eluting with a gradient of heptane/ethyl acetate provided 3.7 g (92%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.50 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 6H), 4.19 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 4H), 7.07 (s, 2H), 9.89 (s, 1H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ 14.61, 65.22, 106.26, 118.64, 135.08, 156.22, 191.01. MS (EI): 229.4 [M]+.
