Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl)methan-1-ol (5.08 g, 29.4 mmol) in benzene (120 mL) was added MnO2 (5.65 g, 65 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 17 hr, chilled, and filtered through Celite, washing the cake with CH2Cl2 (300 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 4-chloro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (4.5 g, 89%).
