(2-Amino-6-methylpyridin-3-yl)methanol → 2-Amino-6-methylnicotinaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a methylene chloride (8 mL) solution of (2-amino-6-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-methanol (379 mg, 2.74 mmol) described in Manufacturing Example 170-1-3 was added manganese (IV) dioxide (1.19 mg, 13.7 mmol) at room temperature, which was stirred for 11 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite pad, and the filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (heptane:ethyl acetate=1:2) to obtain the title compound (328 mg, 88%).
