Reaction Steps

Manganese dioxide (6.0 g) is added to a solution of 4-cyclopentyloxy-2-hydroxymethyl-5-methoxypyridine (2.0 g) in diethyl ether (80 mL) and dichloromethane (10 mL) and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 90 hours. After filtering the filter pad is washed with dichloromethane and the combined filtrate and washings are evaporated to give a white solid. The solid is dried under high vacuum to give 4-cyclopentyloxy-5-methoxypyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (1.65 g).
