Methyl morpholine oxide → 5-Phenyl-1-(2-thienylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (20 mL) of [5-phenyl-1-(2-thienylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methanol (480 mg) in acetonitrile were added tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate (80 mg), N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (407 mg) and molecular sieves 4A powder (500 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 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→3:2) to give the title compound as colorless crystals (yield 272 mg, 57%).
