(dimethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methanol → 4,5-dimethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4,5-dimethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methanol (2.48 g, 19.5 mmol) and manganese (IV) oxide (17.8 g, 204.8 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (72 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was filtered, and the cake washed with dichloromethane (100 mL×3). The combined filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound (1.6 g, yield 66%) as a white solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ (ppm): 2.54 (s, 3H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 10.06 (s, 2H). LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 126 (M+1)+.
