(6-Iodopyridin-3-yl)methanol → 6-Iodopyridine-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

86 g (987 mol) of manganese (II) oxide are added to a solution of 23.2 g (98.7 mmol) of (6-iodopyrid-3-yl)methanol in 800 mL of dichloromethane. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 22 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered through Celite and rinsed with dichloromethane. The filtrate is evaporated under vacuum to give 17 g (74%) of 6-iodopyridine-3-carbaldehyde in the form of a yellow solid.
