Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sulphamic acid (0.68 gm, 7.00 mmol) in 2 mL water was added at 0° C. to a mixture of 4-phenylsulfanyl-benzaldehyde (0.5 g, 2.34 mmol) in 10 mL acetone. After 5 minutes sodium chlorite (0.845 g, 9.34 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. Water was added and the solid obtained was isolated by filtration to afford 0.49 g (85% yield) of 4-benzenesulfinyl-benzoic acid.
