Procedure

Dissolve 1-[4-(diethoxymethyl)-phenyl]-3,3-dimethylbutan-1-ol (3.8 g, 13.57 mmol) in hexane (50 mL). Add manganese dioxide (3.5 g, 40.71 mmol) and stir the mixture at 60° C. overnight. Filter the solid and concentrate the filtrate in vacuo to give the desired intermediate as a colorless oil (3.49 g, 93%).
