m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 2-Sulfamoylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine-5-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a warm (40° C.) solution of 2-sulfamoylfuro[3,2-c]pyridine (2.68 g, 13.5 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) and ethyl acetate (10 ml) was added dropwise a solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (3.22 g, 15 mmol) in ethyl acetate (13 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours as product precipitated. The pure product was collected by filtration and crystallized from hot dimethyl sulfoxide by dilution with ethanol to give 2.4 g (83% yield), m.p. 247°-248° C.
