Triacetoxyperiodinane → [5-Methoxy-2-(2-oxo-butyl)-phenyl]-carbamic acid t-butyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Dess-Martin reagent (2.82 g, 6.68 mmole) in 80 ml THF cooled at 0° C. was added [2-(2-hydroxy-butyl)-5-methoxy-phenyl]-carbamic acid t-butyl ester 73a (1.64 g, 5.57 mmole) in 20 ml THF. The reaction mixture was stirred and warmed to room temperature for 2 h, quenched with half saturated NaHCO3, extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (10-15% EtOAc in hexane) to give colorless oil (1.36 g, 84%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.67 (1H, bs), 7.48 (1H, s), 6.99-7.03 (1H, m), 6.56-6.60 (1H, m), 3.79 (3H, s), 3.59 (2H, s), 2.53-2.61 (2H, q, J=7.2 Hz), 1.51 (9H, s), 1.02 (3H, t, J=7.2 Hz). ESIMS (MNa+): 316.10.
