Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-formyl-2-{[(1S)-1-methylpropyl]oxy}benzonitrile (D35) (220 mg, 1.08 mmol) in acetic acid (20 ml) was added sodium perborate tetrahydrate (334 mg, 2.17 mmol), the reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. over the weekend. The reaction mixture was concentrated in-vacuo. Water (˜50 ml) was added, EtOAc (˜30 ml) was added and the layers partitioned, the aq layer was extracted twice more with EtOAc (˜30 ml) and the combined organics were evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to give the title compound (245 mg) as an off white solid. δH (d6-DMSO, 400 MHz): 8.17 (2H, apparent d), 7.39 (1H, s), 4.68-4.74 (1H, m), 1.55-1.76 (2H, m), 1.31 (3H, d), 0.95 (3H, t). MS (ES): C12H13NO2 requires 219; found 220 (MH+).
