Procedure

In a mixture of 36 ml of chloroform and 18 ml of methanol was dissolved 2.6 g of 3-methyl-2-(2-pyridylmethylthio)quinoxaline hydrochloride. To the chilled solution kept at a temperature of lower than 0° C. (temperature of solution) was added 1.77 g of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (purity 70%). After the reaction was complete, chloroform and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution were added to the reaction mixture under chilling. The organic layer was separated and dried over sodium sulfate. The sodium sulfate was then removed by filtration, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure from the filtrate. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol), and recrystallized from ether/hexane to give 1.63 g of 3-methyl-2-(2-pyridylmethylsulfinyl)quinoxaline as an orange crystalline powder, m.p. 85°-88° C. (decompn.).
