Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-cyclohexyl-5-hexen-2-ol (2.75 g, 15 mmol; prepared according to X. Wang et al, in Org. Lett., 2003, 5, 2699, supplementary materials) in CH2Cl2 (5 ml) was added to a suspension of PCC (4.9 g, 22 mmol) and Celite® (7.35 g) in CH2Cl2 (70 ml) at 20°. After 4 hours at that temperature, 10 mol % of PCC was added and after a supplementary hour Et2O was added and the reaction filtrated over SiO2 before to be concentrated. Purification by chromatography on silica with cyclohexane/AcOEt 95:5 afforded the desired ketone in 73% yield.
