Procedure

1-(4-Methylsulfanylphenoxy)-4-nitrobenzene (86 g, 330 mmol) prepared in Step A was dissolved in dichloromethane (500 mL). mCPBA (3-chloroperbenzoic acid) (83 g, 330 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at 0° C. to room temperature. After completion of the reaction, excess 6N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and dichloromethane, washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate to give the title compound (28 g, Yield 100%).
