Reaction Steps

18-Crown-6 (Aldrich; 4 molar eq.) and pyridinium chlorochromate (Aldrich; 4 molar eq.) were added together in chloroform and stirred for 20 minutes. 4-Cyclohexylbenzylalcohol (from Example D22 below; 1 molar eq.) was added and stirring continued for 3 hours. Ether was added and the mixture filtered through a plug of silica eluting with ether. The solvent was removed via rotary evaporation. The residue was dissolved in ether and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated.
