Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-bromo-6-isopropenylpyridine (0.510 g, 2.57 mmol) in acetone (1 mL) and water (2 mL) was added N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (0.317 g, 2.70 mmol) followed by osmium tetroxide (0.257 mL, 0.013 mmol). After 16 hours, dithionite (0.05 g) and water (1.5 mL) were added. After an additional 15 minutes, the reaction mixture was filtered though a pad of Celite. The filter was rinsed with acetone (3×1.5 mL), and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuo to remove the acetone. The remaining liquid was diluted with 9:1 chloroform:isopropanol (4 mL) and aqueous hydrogen chloride (2 M) was added until the aqueous layer was acidic. The layers were separated, and the acidic (pH=1) aqueous layer was extracted with 9:1 chloroform:isopropanol (2×4 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with 3:1 water:brine (2.5 mL), saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (4 mL), and brine (4 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford the title compound.
