{2-Methyl-5-[5-(3,4,5-trichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-furan-3-yl}-methanol → 2-Methyl-5-[5-(3,4,5-trichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-furan-3-carbaldehyde

Reaction Steps

Manganese dioxide (9.64 g) is added portion-wise to a solution of {2-methyl-5-[5-(3,4,5-trichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-furan-3-yl}-methanol (3.88 g) in dichloromethane (100 ml). After 18 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture is filtered through a plug of celite and the filtration cake is washed with dichloromethane. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to yield 2-methyl-5-[5-(3,4,5-trichloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-isoxazol-3-yl]-furan-3-carbaldehyde (3.16 g) as a white foam. The crude product obtained is used without further purification. MS (HPLC/MS): 426 (MH+).
