Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (3.1 mL, 35 mmol) is dissolved in 200 mL CH2Cl2 in a dried flask under N2. The flask is placed in a dry-ice/acetone bath at −78° C., DMSO (4.95 mL, 70 mmol) in 10 mL CH2Cl2 is added drop-wise, and the mixture is stirred for 20 min. (7-Chlorofuro[2,3-c]pyridin-5-yl)methanol (C4) (5.5 g, 30 mmol) in 10 mL CH2Cl2 is added, and the reaction is stirred 30 min at −78° C. TEA (21.3 mL, 153 mmol) is then added. The reaction is stirred 30 min in the dry-ice/acetone bath, an ice bath replaces the dry-ice/acetone bath, and the reaction is stirred 1 h and is washed with 100 mL 1:1 saturated NaCl/NaHCO3. The organic layer is dried over anhydrous K2CO3, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 7-chlorofuro[2,3-c]pyridine-5-carbaldehyde (C6) as a pale yellow solid (97% yield). MS (EI) for C8H4ClNO2 m/z: 181 (M)+.
