Participants

Reaction Steps

[4-Isopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-oxazol-5-yl]-methanol (0.46 g, 1.612 mmol), Dess-Martin periodinane (1.36 g, 3.22 mmol) and dichloromethane (25 mL) are stirred 1 hr at room temperature. The mixture is diluted with aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate (100 mL) and dichloromethane (100 mL). The layers are separated, the aqueous layer is washed with dichloromethane (100 mL). The organic washes are combined, washed with brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The product is purified over silica eluting with 3:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate to afford 4-Isopropyl-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-oxazole-5-carbaldehyde as a white solid, 0.41 g, 90%. %. MS (M++1) 284.
