tert-Butanol → 6-chloro-N-cyclopentyl-N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)pyridine-3-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.1 g (3.7 mmol) of 6-chloro-N-cyclopentyl-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)pyridine-3-sulfonamide in 15 mL of a mixture (1/1) of tBuOH and water are added, at room temperature, 1.2 g (10.3 mmol) of NMO and 0.52 mL (0.04 mmol) of 2.5% OsO4 in tBuOH. Stirring is continued for 12 hours. The medium is then diluted with 200 mL of water and extracted with Et2O (2×100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. 0.92 g of 6-chloro-N-cyclopentyl-N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)pyridine-3-sulfonamide is obtained in the form of a brown solid, which is used without further purification in the following step.
