Triacetoxyperiodinane → 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)cyclohexan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

bi) To a solution of rac-2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-cyclohexanol (3.8 g, 20 mmol) in DCM (320 mL) was added Dess-Martin periodinane [1,1,1-tris(acetyloxy)-1,1-dihydro-1,2-benziodoxol-3-(1H)-one](10 g, 24 mmol) at room temperature and after 2 h the reaction mixture was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate (10%, 150 mL). The organic phase was then separated and washed with sodium thiosulfite (10%, 150 mL) and then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. Purification by chromatography through silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate:hexane (1:4) afforded the title compound (3.4 g, 89%) as white crystals. MS: m/e=192.1 (M).
