(7-Bromo-2-methyl-benzo[d]oxazol-4-yl)methanol → 7-Bromo-2-methyl-benzo[d]oxazole-4-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (7-bromo-2-methyl-benzo[d]oxazol-4-yl)methanol (Example 6.5) (5.16 g) in dichloromethane (300 ml) was added manganese(IV) oxide (59.9 g) and the suspension stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of silica gel and the filtrate concentrated to give 7-bromo-2-methyl-benzo[d]oxazole-4-carbaldehyde (3.23 g). LC-MS: RT=1.83 min, [M+H]+=240.0/242.0, method A.
