1-Nonanol, 9-bromo- → 9-Bromononanal

Temperature

5 °C

To a 100-mL round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, addition funnel and temperature controller, under nitrogen, was added 9-bromononanol (8.92 g, 40 mmol) and dichloromethane (30 mL). The resulting mixture was cooled to 5° C. and a solution of sodium bicarbonate (0.47 g, 5.6 mmol) and potassium bromide (0.48 g, 4 mmol) in water (10 mL) was added. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy free radical (TEMPO) (63 mg, 0.4 mmol) was added and then a 10 to 13% bleach solution (27 mL) was added dropwise through the addition funnel at a rate such that the temperature was maintained at about 8° C. (+/−2° C.) with an ice cold bath (over about 40 min.). After addition of the bleach was complete, the mixture was stirred for 30 min. while maintaining the temperature at about 0° C. A solution of sodium bisulfite (1.54 g) in water (10 mL) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The layers of the mixture were then separated, and the milky aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (1×20 mL). The combined dichloromethane layers were then washed with water (1×30 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title intermediate (8.3 g, 94% yield), which was used without further purification in the next step.
