Sodium periodate → 2-((3R,5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-1-(pentan-3-yl)piperidin-3-yl)acetaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 240 mg (0.54 mmol) of (3S,5R,6S)-3-allyl-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1-(pentan-3-yl)piperidin-2-one (Example 71, Step E) in THF (8 mL) and water (2.8 mL) added a catalytic amount of osmium tetroxide. After 1.25 h, 323 mg (1.51 mmol) of sodium periodate were added. The resulting light brown slurry was stirred at room temperature for 18.5 h, and then filtered through a fritted funnel. The filtrate was partially concentrated under reduced pressure, then was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate and then saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The crude title compound was used directly in the next step.
