Sodium periodate → tert-butyl 5-oxo-3-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridine-6(5H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 250 mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of tert-butyl 3-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridine-6(5H)-carboxylate (as prepared in the previous step, 3.84 g, 0.01 mol, 1.00 equiv) in CCl4/CH3CN=10/1 (66 mL), a solution of sodium periodate (8.135 g, 38.01 mmol, 3.00 equiv) in water (20 mL) and Ruthenium(III)Chloride Hydrate (0.992 g, 0.30 equiv). The resulting solution was stirred for 12 h at room temperature, and then the mixture was diluted with 50 mL of CH2Cl2. The solids were filtered out. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by chromatography over a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:50-1:10). The title compound was obtained as a white solid.
