Triacetoxyperiodinane → 1-(2-Bromopyridin-4-yl)propan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-bromopyridin-4-yl)-propan-1-ol (2.20 g 10.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (55 mL) is added Dess-Martin periodinane (5.6 g, 13 mmol). After 30 hours, the mixture is diluted with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate (40 mL) and partially concentrated to remove the dichloromethane. The crude material is filtered through filter agent and washed with EtOAc (100 mL). The aqueous layer is separated and extracted with EtOAc (40 mL). The combined organic layers are washed with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate (40 mL) and brine (40 mL). The material is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 1-(2-bromopyridin-4-yl)-propan-1-one as an oil which is used without further purification.
