Water → 6-(2,4-Difluorophenoxy)-2-formylnicotinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

At RT, to the product of step 2 above in THF (70.00 mL) and water (70.00 mL) was added sodium periodate (8.9 g, 42 mmol) in one portion and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at RT for 2 h, resulting in the formation of a yellow suspension. The suspension was passed through a flitted funnel, washing with THF (2×10 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the remaining mixture was extracted with DCM (2×30 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification on the ISCO (40 g column, 20-60% EtOAc in hexanes) afforded 6-(2,4-difluorophenoxy)-2-formylnicotinonitrile as a light yellow crystalline solid. MS (ESI, pos.ion) m/z: M+1=261.0
