A colorless solution of commercially available methyl hex-5-enoate (5.000 g; 39.01 mmol) in dioxane (290 ml) and water (95 ml) was treated successively with 2,6-lutidine (8.360 g; 78.02 mmol), a solution of osmium tetroxide (2.5 wt. % in 2-methylpropan-2-ol; 0.50 ml), and NaIO4 (33.375 g; 156.04 mmol). The resulting beige heterogeneous reaction mixture was further stirred at rt, under nitrogen, for 16 h. The resulting milky heterogeneous mixture was treated with water (100 ml) and DCM (500 ml). The layers were separated, and the aq. layer was further extracted with DCM (200 ml/150 ml). The mixed slightly yellow organic layers were then washed with brine (200 ml), dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give crude methyl 5-oxopentanoate as a green oil which was directly used for the next step without additional purification.
