Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a solution of methyl 5-(3,4-dimethylphenylthio)-4-(N,N-dipentylcarbamoyl)pentanoate (0.55 g) in dry dichloromethane (10 ml) were added portions of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (70%, 0.31 g) with stirring at -78° C. After stirring at -78° C. for 3 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 benzene/ethyl acetate (2:1) to give 0.12 g of methyl 5-(3,4-dimethylphenylsulfinyl)-4-(N,N-dipentylcarbamoyl)pentanoate (diastereomer A) in a early fraction and 0.36 g of diastereomer B in a later fraction.
