Use | 2-hydroxy-4-pyridinal is an organic intermediate, it can be obtained from 2-hydroxy-4-methylpyridine by oxidation of selenium dioxide. 2-hydroxy-4-pyridinaldehyde can be used to prepare a Ror-γ modulator. |
preparation | add anhydrous dioxane (35 mL) to 2-hydroxy-4-methylpyridine (2.10g,19.2 mmol) and selenium dioxide (2.50g,22.5 mmol). The heterogeneous solution was refluxed under argon for 48 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. The mixture was treated with sodium bicarbonate (1.5g). The mixture was stirred for 3 hours to neutralize the acidic by-products. The resulting dark brown suspension was filtered through a pad of magnesium sulfate (2.5g), florisi (2.5g) and celite (2.5g) to remove insoluble residues. The yellow filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the crude compound (1.40g). The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography in ethyl acetate and 9:1 ethyl acetate/methanol to obtain 2-hydroxy-4-pyridinaldehyde. |
