Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve (2,6-dichloropyridin-3-yl)-methanol (876 mg, 4.92 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL). Add pyridium chlorochromate (2.12 g, 9.84 mmol). Stir for 2 hours. Add diethyl ether and stir for 20 minutes. Filter the mixture through a pad of Celite® and silica gel and concentrate to give 2,6-dichloropyridine-3-carbaldehyde (575 mg, 66%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.39 (s, 1H), 8.18 (d, 1H, J=8.0 Hz), 7.43 (d, 1H, J=8.0 Hz).
