Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.03 g (15.4 mmol) of t-butyl-dimethylsilyloxy-2,6-dipropyl-4-hydroxymethyl benzene in 30 mL of methylene chloride was added 8.7 g of pyridinium dichromate (PDC). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours and then diluted with 300 mL of ethyl ether. The solution was then filtered through a pad of a 1:1 mixture of florisil and celite. Concentration of the filtrate gave 4.85 g of the title compound.
