Methyl morpholine oxide → 2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (2.216 g, 8.69 mmol) and N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (2.051 g, 17.38 mmol) were combined in CH2Cl2 (44 mL) and MeCN (2.2 mL). Tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (0.311 g, 0.87 mmol) was added, and the reaction was stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature. Once no starting material was seen by analytical tlc, the mixture was concentrated, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound.
