Acetone → HCID 68118329, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.34 g of 25 and 10 ml of acetone was added all at once to a solution of 2.25 g of sodium periodate in 15 ml of water. The resulting exothermic reaction was controlled between 25° and 35° by cooling. The mixture then was stirred at room temperature for 90 minutes, then was poured into a mixture of water and methylene chloride. The separated organic phase was washed with saturated sodium thiosulfate solution, and saturated sodium chloride. It then was dried (MgSO4) and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to give an oil, which was triturated with ether to give a yellow solid. This was chromatographed by a preparative thin layer chromatographic technique, on silica gel and using a mixture of methanol (2%) in methylene chloride as eluent, to give 26, as a yellow solid, m.p.: 102°-104°.
