6-(hydroxymethyl)-1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-indeno[4,5-c]furan-3-one → 3-oxo-3,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-indeno[4,5-c]furan-6-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(hydroxymethyl)-1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-indeno[4,5-c]furan-3-one (55 mg, 0.27 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added Dess-Martin Periodate (171 mg, 0.400 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir at RT for 3 hours. LC analysis showed formation of the desired product, and there was little SM left. The solution was diluted with DCM (30 mL), and to that was added Na2S2O3 (10% aq solution, 15 mL) to consume the excess Dess-Martin reagent. The mixture was stirred until the two layers separated. The bottom DCM layer was collected, washed with aq Na2CO3, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give 3-oxo-3,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-indeno[4,5-c]furan-6-carbaldehyde. LC-MS (IE, m/z): 203 [M+1]+.
