Participants

Reaction Steps

To a chloroform (10 mL) solution of (4-phenylsulfanylmethyl-phenyl)-methanol (1 g, 4.34 mmol) described in Manufacturing Example 206-1-2 was added manganese dioxide (3.77 g, 43.4 mmol), which was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature. The manganese dioxide was removed with a Celite bed, and the filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (990 mg). The title compound was used in the following reaction without any further purification.
