Methyl morpholine oxide → 1,2,6,7-tetrahydro-8H-cyclopenta[d]furo[2,3-b]pyridin-8-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-cyclopenta[d]furo[2,3-b]pyridin-8-ol (500 mg, 2.82 mmol), 4 Å molecular sieves (1 g), 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide (825 mg, 7.05 mmol) and tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate(VII) (99 mg, 0.282 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (335 mg, yield 68%).
