Triacetoxyperiodinane → 2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(5-(methylsulfonyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(5-(methylsulfonyl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)ethanol (720 mg, 2.2 mmol)) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL) was added Dess-Martin periodinane (1.1 g, 2.6 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 2 h at RT, then concentrated in vacuo and purified directly on normal phase silica gel to provide 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(5-(methylsulfonyl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)ethanone as a white solid.
