Participants

Reaction Steps

To intermediate 61C (0.1 M solution in 10% CH3CN in DCM) add NMO (2 equiv) followed by TPAP (0.05 equiv). Provide sufficient ventilation and take care to watch for exotherm. Stir reaction at rt for 3-5 h. Dilute by half with hexane and allow TPAP to precipitate. Flash filter through silica gel plug (20 fold mass of starting alcohol) and elute with 10% EtOAc/Hex until product is not observed in eluent. Removal of solvents gave the title compound.
