Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-fluoro-3-(3-{[1-(2-fluoroethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]ethynyl}phenyl)pyridine (140 mg, 0.45 mmol) in acetone (7 mL) is added a warm (˜40° C.) solution of NaHCO3 (23 mg, 0.27 mmol) and MgSO4 (82 mg, 0.68 mmol) in H2O (7 mL) followed by the addition of solid potassium permanganate (156 mg, 0.99 mmol) in one portion. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture is extracted with Et2O/hexane (1/1) until no product left in aqueous layer. The combined organic extracts are dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to dryness to afford 1-[1-(2-fluoroethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-2-[3-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)phenyl]ethane-1,2-dione (95 mg, 62%) as an oil. MS (+) ES: 342 (M+H)+.
