p-Toluenesulfonic acid → 6-(3-Hydroxyoxetan-3-yl)picolinaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(6-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)oxetan-3-ol (67 mf, 0.30 mmol) and p-toluenesulphonic acid (14.8 mg, 0.26 mmol) in acetone (3.00 mL) was heated to 50° C. and stirred for 18 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford the title compound. The material was used without further purification. MS (ES+) (M+H) 180.0; LCMS retention time: 1.57 minutes (Method L).
