Dimethyl Sulfoxide → (4-Formyltetrahydropyran-4-yl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide (3.0 mL, 42.2 mmol) was added to a −65° C. solution of oxalyl chloride (2.0 mL, 22.9 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (100 mL) and allowed to stir at −65° C. under N2 blanket for 3 minutes, after which time a solution of (4-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (4.89 g, 21.1 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (25 mL) was added. When 25 minutes had elapsed, triethylamine (14.7 mL, 105.5 mmol) was added and the reaction solution allowed to stir for a further 20 minutes at −65° C.; then the cold bath was removed and the reaction warmed to ambient temperature, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (500 mL), dried (MgSO4), and evaporated to afford 4.48 g of clear yellow viscous liquid which was used without further purification.
