Sodium Bicarbonate → tert-Butyl 2-chloro-6-formylisonicotinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 2-chloro-6-vinylisonicotinate (9.6 g, 40.1 mmol) in THF (100 mL) and water (100 mL) were added osmium tetroxide (4% in water; 6.3 mL, 0.80 mmol) and sodium periodate (25.7 g, 120.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature. After 30 min, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated.
