Participants

Reaction Steps

1.00 g (4.05 mmol) of the compound from Example 21A is provided in 40 ml of acetone, 2.60 g (12.1 mmol) of sodium periodate, 0.70 g (9.11 mmol) of ammonium acetate and 40 ml of water are added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture is subsequently concentrated, a 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is added to the residue and the precipitate that remains is filtered off with suction. Using a concentrated aqueous hydrogen chloride solution, the solution is adjusted to pH 3 and cooled to 0° C. The precipitate formed is collected by suction filtration, washed with water and dried under high vacuum. 384 mg (58% of theory) of the title compound are obtained.
