2,6-Lutidine → 5,7-Difluoroquinoline-6-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

5,7-Difluoro-6-vinyl-quinoline ((vii), 614 mg, 3.21 mmol) was dissolved in dioxane (1.7 mL) and water (0.6 mL). 2,6-lutidine (0.761 mL, 6.42 mmol), sodium periodate (2.75 g, 12.85 mmol) and osmium tetroxide (653 mg, 0.064 mmol) were added to the previous solution. The RM was stirred at RT for 15 min. A precipitate was formed. Water was added to the RM and it was extracted twice with EtOAc. The organics were joined and washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed. The residue was purified by MPLC with Hexane and EtOAc to give the title compound as a white solid (tR 1.2 min (conditions 4), MH+=244, 1H-NMR in DMSO-d6: 10.36 (s, 1H); 9.15 (s, 1H); 8.65 (d, 1H); 7.79 (d, 1H); 7.69 (dd, 1H)).
