m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 13078528, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.0 g (0.0383 mole) of 1-(methylthio)-4-(4-nitrophenoxy)benzene and 7.76 g (0.0383 mole) of 85% 3-chloroperbenzoic acid dissolved in 500 ml of CH2Cl2 was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was extracted with aqueous K2CO3, water and dried (Na2SO4). Removal of solvent in vacuo afforded 10.3 g (97.2% yield) of product. Recrystallization from 2-propanol yielded purified 1-(methylsulfinyl)-4-(4-nitrophenoxy)benzene, mp 76°-78° C.
