Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.54 g of (5-fluoro-6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methanol in 5 mL of dichloromethane, 1.5 g of manganese dioxide was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, thereto were then added 0.89 g of manganese dioxide and 4 mL of dichloromethane, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Thereto were further added 1.5 g of manganese dioxide and 2 mL of dichloromethane, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours 30 minutes. After leaving overnight, the insoluble substance was filtered off, and the filtration residue was washed with chloroform. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 0.48 g of 5-fluoro-6-methoxynicotinaldehyde as a yellow solid.
