m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 3-Bromo-2-(methoxycarbonylamino)-6-phenylsulfinyl imidazo [1,2-a] pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Alternatively, one may treat a suspension of 3-bromo-2(methoxycarbonylamino)-6(phenylthio) imidazo [1,2-a] pyridine (1.0 gm. 2.64 mmoles) in 100 ml. of dichloromethane with 85% metachloroperbenzoic acid (464 mg., 2.64 mmoles). After 1 hour at room temperature, the solution is washed with aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and with water. After drying the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is chromatographed over silica gel to yield 3-bromo-2-(methoxycarbonylamino)-6-phenylsulfinyl imidazo [1,2-a] pyridine m.p. 150°-152° C.
