Potassium Permanganate → Ethyl 2-chloro-6-((2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl)pyrimidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium metaperiodate (701 mg, 3.28 mmol) was suspended in water (10 mL) and sonicated until a clear solution was obtained. 2-Chloro-4-(1-ethoxyvinyl)-6-((2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl)pyrimidine (486 mg, 1.64 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) and potassium permanganate (39 mg, 0.25 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min. The mixture was filtered, precipitate was washed by dioxane and DCM. DCM an solid sodium bicarbonate (s) were added to the filtrate. The mixture was extracted with DCM (×2). The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica eluting with DC ti give the title compound as a solid, 385 mg (79%).
