Sodium periodate → 2-((5R,6S)-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(cyclopropylmethyl)-2-oxo-3-(2-(triisopropylsilyloxy)ethyl)piperidin-3-yl)acetaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.28 g (2.08 mmol) of (5R,6S)-3-allyl-5-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(cyclopropylmethyl)-3-(2-(triisopropylsilyloxy)ethyl)piperidin-2-one (Example 69, Step A, mixture of diastereomers) in THF (50 mL) and water (17.5 mL) was added a catalytic amount of osmium tetroxide. After 25 min, 1.34 g (6.25 mmol) of sodium periodate was added. The resulting light brown slurry was stirred for 19 h and then was filtered through a fritted funnel. The filtrate was partially concentrated under reduced pressure, then was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate and then saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The crude title compound (mixture of C-3 epimers) was used directly in the next step.
