Reaction Steps

2.00 g of ethyl-2-(furfurylthio)acetate was dissolved in 40 ml of methanol, and stirred under cooling in an ice bath. 2.50 g of sodium metaperiodate dissolved in 20 ml of water was added dropwise, and stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction product was extracted by adding 100 ml of dichloromethane, and washed with water. Dichloromethane was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by column chromatography using benzene:ethyl acetate=4:1 as developing solvent to obtain the captioned ethyl-2-(furfurylsulfinyl)acetate. Yield: 1.93 g.
