Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 6-(1-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl)nicotinate (0.200 g, 0.896 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added manganese dioxide (779 mg, 8.96 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was then filtered and concentration of the filtrate gave methyl 6-(3-methylbutanoyl)nicotinate (190 mg, 96%) as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 9.25 (s, 1H), 8.40-8.42 (d, 1H), 8.07-8.09 (d, 1H), 3.98 (s, 3H), 3.11-3.12 (d, 2H), 2.27-2.34 (m, 1H), 0.99-1.00 (m, 6H).
