Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a solution of methyl 5-(3,4-dichlorophenylthio)-4-(N-pentyl-N-phenethylcarbamoyl)pentanoate (280 mg) in dry chloroform (10 ml) were added portions of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (70%, 140 mg) with stirring at -78° C. After stirring at -78° C. for 2 hours, sodium sulfite was added. The reaction mixture was washed with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica by eluting with dichloromethane/diethy ether/hexane (1:1:2) to give 100 mg of methyl 5-(3,4-dichlorophenylsulfinyl)-4-(N-pentyl-N-phenethylcarbamoyl)pentanoate (diastereomer A) in a early fraction and 110 mg of diastereomer B in a later fraction.
