Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add a solution of 5-hydroxymethyl-N-methyl-N-propyl-isophthalamic acid ethyl ester (600 mg, 2.15 mmol) dropwise to a mixture of Dess-Martin periodinane (1.06 g, 2.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (6.5 mL). Stir the exothermic reaction mixture (32° C.) for 20 min without additional heat. To the reaction mixture add diethyl ether (12 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (12 mL). Separate the layers and wash the aqueous layer with diethyl ether (2×12 mL). Combine the organics and wash with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (12 mL), saturated aqueous sodium chloride (12 mL), dry (magnesium sulfate), concentrate, and purify (silica gel chromatography, eluting with 50:50 ethyl acetate:hexanes) to give the title compound as an oil (0.54 g, 91%).
