Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-4-methyl-5-nitro-pyridine (5.4 g, 23 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was treated with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (3.6 g, 30 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 115° C. for 1 h, cooled, and concentrated in vacuo to yield crude {2-[2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-5-nitro-pyridin-4-yl]-vinyl}-dimethyl-amine as a brown solid. The solid was dissolved in THF (100 mL), and water (100 mL), and then sodium periodate (14.06 g, 66 mmol) was added. The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 24 h. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated, and then diluted with EtOAc. The organic extract washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to yield crude title compound as a solid. The crude solid was purified by column chromatography (4:2:0.5; CHCl3:hexanes:EtOAc) to yield 2-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-5-nitro-pyridine-4-carbaldehyde, the title compound as a yellow solid.
