Sodium periodate → HCID 20540140, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.42 gm (0.006 mol) of 6-(2-methylmercapto-ethoxy)-3,4-dihydro-carbostyril were suspended in 12 ml of methanol, and a solution of 1.71 gm (0.008 mol) of sodium metaperiodate in 8 ml of water was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours; at the beginning a distinct warming of the reaction mixture was noted. Subsequently, the mixture was diluted with a little water and exhaustively extracted with chloroform. The evaporation residue of the chloroform extract was recrystallized from ethyl acetate by addition of a little ethanol.
