Reaction Steps

To a 500 mL round-bottom flask, manganese oxide (43.5 g, 0.50 mol) was added to a solution of 2,3-dichloro-5-hydroxylmethylpyridine (1, 8.10 g, 50.0 mMol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (150 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days, which was filtered through Celite and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by a silica gel chromatography column eluting with a gradient of ethyl acetate (0-40%)/hexanes to give 7.2 g of the desired product 2 (90%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.08 (1H, s), 8.77 (1H, d, J=1.97 Hz), 8.25 (1H, d, J=1.97 Hz). LC/MS (M+1): 176.
