Methyl morpholine oxide → 2-Chloro-5-phenyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (50 mL) of [2-chloro-5-phenyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]methanol (830 mg) in acetonitrile were added tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate (84 mg), N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (484 mg) and molecular sieves 4A powder (2.0 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 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=19:1→4:1) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (yield 440 mg, 53%).
