After the evolution of hydrogen gas ceased, stirring was continued at room temperature for an additional 2-hour period. A solution of 193.0 g (0.57 mmol) of 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-((4-methoxyphenyl)methylthio)-2-methylpropan-1-one in 110 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide was added thereto, followed by stirring for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography and eluted with a mixed solvent of hexane and ethyl acetate (10:1). The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of diethyl ether and hexane to obtain 135.8 g (68%) of (±)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1-((4-methoxyphenyl)methylthio)-1-methylethyl)oxirane as a colorless crystal.
