Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-[2-fluoro-4-[[5-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxy-2-thienyl]methoxy]phenyl]propanoate (1.6 g, 4.3 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (10 mL), cooled to 0° C., is added Dess-Martin periodinane (2.76 g, 6.5 mmol). The reaction mixture is warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with water (15 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water (15 mL), brine (15 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness. The crude material is purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with hexane:ethyl acetate (8.8:1.2) to give the title compound (0.8 g, 50%). ESI/MS m/z 367.1 (M+H)+.
