Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 325b (7.5 g, 34.2 mmol) and 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (38.4 g, 137 mmol) in ethyl acetate (200 mL) was stirred at 85° C. for 20 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (20:1 to 10:1) to afford 325c (6.8 g, 92%) as a yellow oil. MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 217.9.
