Sodium periodate → 6-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-5-oxo-5,6-dihydropyrido[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-9-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-9-vinylpyrido[3,2-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one (3.96 g, 11.9 mmol) was suspended in tetrahydrofuran (80 ml) and heated with a heat gun to effect dissolution. Similarly sodium periodate (5.84 g, 27.3 mmol) was heated in water (40 ml) to effect dissolution. The above solutions were combined with vigorous stifling. While the stirred mixture was still at 40° C., osmium(VIII) oxide in tert-butanol (2.90 ml, 2.5%, 0.30 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 4 hours. It was diluted with water (300 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×150 mL) and DCM (3×150 mL). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to afford 4.13 g (99%) of the title compound as a black solid which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.77 (s, 3H), 5.80 (s, 2H), 6.83 (d, J=8.66 Hz, 2H), 7.61 (d, J=8.66 Hz, 2H), 8.41 (s, 1H), 9.10 (d, J=2.13 Hz, 1H), 9.26 (d, J=2.13 Hz, 1H), 10.21 (s, 1H). LCMS (MH+, 336.2).
