Sodium periodate → [7-(methyloxy)-2-oxopyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-1(2H)-yl]acetaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-(Methyloxy)-1-(2-propen-1-yl)pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2(1H)-one (846 mg, 3.900 mmol) was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (20 ml) and water (10 ml). Sodium periodate (20.09 g, 9.75 mmol) was added, followed by osmium tetroxide (0.83 ml of 4% aqueous solution). The mixture stirred at rt for 4 h, and then extracted with 20% MeOH/DCM (3×200 ml). The organic extracts were combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give [7-(methyloxy)-2-oxopyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-1(2H)-yl]acetaldehyde (existing mostly as the methyl hemiacetal) as an impure brown solid (969 mg, 113%).
