Acetone → methyl 5-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl)-3-fluoro-2-formyl-4-methylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 5-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl)-3-fluoro-4-methyl-2-vinylbenzoate (0.21 g), acetone (2.3 mL), acetonitrile (2.3 mL) and water (2.3 mL) were added osmium oxide (fixed catalyst I) (0.08 g) and sodium periodate (0.63 g) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred overnight at the same temperature. The insoluble substance was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (0.21 g) as a crude product. This compound was used in the next step without an additional purification.
