Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 86591120, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of oxalyl chloride (62 μl, 0.72 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (10 ml) under N2 was cooled to −78° C. while stirring. Dimethy sulfoxide (104 μl, 1.44 mmol) was then added followed by a solution of {(1R,2R)-2-[4-(6-Trifluoromethyl-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-piperazin-1-ylmethyl]-cyclopropyl}-methanol (0.135 g, .36 mmol) in anhydrous methylene chloride (10 ml). Stirring was continued at −78° for 35 minutes and then triethyl amine (1.0 ml, .7.3 mmol) was added. This solution was stirred for 4 hours and then removed from the cold bath, filtered, concentrated and chromatagraphed on silica gel with methylene chloride/methanol (95:5). The resultant pure aldehyde, (1R,2R)-2-[4-(6-Trifluoromethyl-benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-piperazin-1-ylmethyl]-cyclopropanecarbaldehyde was verified by NMR and LC/MS, yielding 0.102 g, 76%.
