Participants

Reaction Steps

1.1 g (3.1 mmol) of ethyl 4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthylthio)benzoate and 30 ml of dichloromethane were introduced into a round-bottomed flask, and 970 mg (3.1 mmol) of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid were then added. The entire contents were stirred at room temperature for two hours, the reaction medium poured into water, extracted with dichloromethane, the organic phase decanted off, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica column eluted with dichloromethane. After evaporation of the solvents, 1 g (84%) of the expected ester was recovered.
