Triacetoxyperiodinane → 5-Chloro-4-formylthiophene-2-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.0 g of 5-chloro-4-hydroxymethylthiophene-2-carbonitrile in 34 mL of dichloromethane was added 8.06 g of Dess-Martin reagent at room temperature, and stirred at this temperature for a day. After diluting with dichloromethane, washing successively with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated brine, and drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated, to afford 4.5 g of a crude product of the title compound as colorless crystals.
