Sodium Thiosulfate → 1-(Methylsulfinyl)-4-nitrobenzene

참여 물질

반응 단계

A suspension of 25.0 g (147.8 mmol) 1-methylsulfanyl-4-nitro-benzene and 0.69 g (4.2 mmol) iron(III) chloride (anhydrous) in 120 ml acetonitrile is treated with 36.0 g (158.1 mmol) periodic acid and stirred at room temperature. At the start of heat evolution, the mixture is transiently cooled with an ice-bath, so that the temperature does not rise above 30° C. After the heat evolution has subsided, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for a further 10 mins. The mixture is poured into a solution of 150 g sodium thiosulphate in 1000 ml ice-water and then extracted with DCM. The combined organic phases are washed with saturated NaCl solution, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The remaining residue is recrystallised from toluene. 23.6 g (128.0 mmol, corresponding to 86% of theor.) of the product is obtained.
