2-Cyclopropyl-6-ethyl-benzaldehyde (CAS 945408-11-7) (500 mg, 2.9 mmol) was dissolved in 3.5 mL tert butanol and 1.7 mL 2-methyl-2-butene. At 0° C. a solution of sodium chlorite (80% purity, 422 mg, 3.8 mmol) and sodium dihydrogenphosphate (452 mg, 3.8 mmol) in 3 mL water was added slowly. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature over night. The solvents were evaporated off. The residue was taken up in 1N sodium hydroxide solution and was extracted with tert butyl methylether. The aqueous phase was adjusted at pH 1 with 25% HCl and extracted twice with tert butyl methylether. The combined organic phases were dried on sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was used without any further purification, white solid (412 mg, 75%), MS: m/e=189.3 [(M−H)−].
