Reaction Steps

2.5 g (8.06 mmol) of rac-4-(2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)pentane-1,2-diol is introduced into a mixture that consists of 52 ml of dichloromethane, 14 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide and 4.08 g (40.29 mmol) of triethylamine. At room temperature, 2.57 g (16.11 mmol) of SO3/pyridine complex is added, and the batch is stirred overnight at this temperature. The reaction mixture is mixed with saturated ammonium chloride solution and stirred vigorously. After additional common working-up, 2.11 g (85%) of the desired aldehyde is obtained.
