Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-furyl)-propan-2-ol (3.25 g) in dichloromethane (200 ml) was added in one portion pyridinium chlorochromate (13.0 g). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h and then filtered through a small bed of silica. The organics were evaporated to give the crude product which was used without further purification (3.53 g).
