Selenium Dioxide → HCID 86707512, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-1-(2-methylquinolin-8-yloxy)propan-2-ol (0.15 g, 0.69 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) and water (0.1 mL) was added selenium dioxide (0.092 g, 0.83 mmol) and the resultant mixture heated at reflux for 2.5 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of Celite® to remove solids, rinsing with dichloromethane, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by normal phase chromatography on silica gel (20-40% ethyl acetate/hexanes) providing the title compound (0.091 g, 57%).
