Selenium Dioxide → 6-Fluoro-8-(triisopropylsilyloxy)quinoline-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-fluoro-2-methyl-8-(triisopropylsilyloxy)quinoline (1.76 g, 5.29 mmol) was dissolved in dioxane (58 mL) and water (0.49 mL). The reaction was treated with selenium dioxide (0.76 g, 6.8 mmol) and the mixture was heated to reflux for 13 hours. The mixture was cooled and filtered through GF/F paper. The filtered solids were washed with Et2O and all the filtrates were concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was chromatographed on SiO2 eluting with a gradient of 1-5% Et2O/hexanes to provide the desired product (0.515 g).
