Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-6-ethenylquinoline (5.1 g, 26.88 mmol), 2,6-lutidine (5.76 g, 53.75 mmol), sodium (meta) periodate (22.99 g, 107.51 mmol), and osmium tetroxide (5.48 g of a 2.5% solution in tert-butanol, 0.538 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane:H2O (350 mL of 3:1 mixture) was stirred for 3.5 h at room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (CH2Cl2) to give the title compound (4.26 g, 83% for 2 steps) as a pale yellow solid. MS(ES)+ m/e 192 [M+H]+.
