tert-Butyl methyl ether → 6-Bromo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of (6-bromo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)-methanol (6.5 g, 28.51 mmol) from step 1 above in dichloromethane (60 mL) was added Phl(OAc)2 (10.1 mg, 31.4 mmol) and with catalytic TEMPO (334 mg, 2.14 mmol). After reaction at room temperature for 3 hours, the reaction is complete. MTBE is added slowly (50 mL) to crystallize the product, filtration followed by drying the product by vacuum oven overnight. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (2% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to give the desired product as light white solid (combine total 4.8 g, 75% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) □ ppm 8.96 (d, J=2.45 Hz, 1H) 9.09 (d, J=2.45 Hz, 1H) 10.22 (s, 1H). MS: (APCI) 228 (M+H).
