Methyl morpholine oxide → 4-(1-{4-[2-(t-Butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-3,3-dimethylbutoxy]-3-methylphenyl}-1-ethylpropyl)-2-methylbenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [4-(1-{4-[2-(t-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-3,3-dimethylbutoxy]-3-methylphenyl}-1-ethylpropyl)-2-methylphenyl]methanol (0.25 g, 0.48 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) is added powdered 4 Å molecular sieves (250 mg) followed by the addition of NMO (84 mg, 0.72 mmol), and TPAP (8.4 mg, 0.02 mmol). The resulting mixture is stirred at RT for 5 m, filtered through silica gel, washed with EtOAc, and the combined filtrate is concentrated to give the title compound (0.20 g, 83%).
