Methyl morpholine oxide → HCID 86232757, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (50 mL) of [5-(pyridin-2-yl) -1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methanol (0.96 g) in acetonitrile were added tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate (194 mg), N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (2.98 g) and molecular sieves 4A powder (5 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=4:1→1:1) to give the title compound as colorless crystals (yield 270 mg, 29%).
