Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-((9H-purin-9-yl)methyl)-2-(methylthio)benzo[d]oxazole (400 mg, 1.35 mmol) and m-CPBA (289 mg, 1.69 mmol) in DCM (25 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 6 h. The reaction mixture was washed with aq Na2S2O3 and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 1:5 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate to give 6-((9H-purin-9-yl)methyl)-2-(methylsulfinyl)benzo[d]oxazole as a light yellow solid (143 mg, 33.89%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.18 (s, 1H), 9.03 (s, 1H), 8.13 (s, 1H), 7.82 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (s, 1H), 7.44 (d, J=9.9 Hz, 1H), 5.62 (s, 2H), 3.18 (s, 3H). LCMS (ESI) m/z 314 (M+H)+.
