Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1-methylpropylthio)phenoxyacetone O-ethyloxime (7.1 mmol) in 10 ml of methanol at 0° is added, dropwise over 5 min., sodium periodate (1.67 g, 7.8 mmol) in 13 ml of water. The mixture is stirred for 3 hours while warming to RT. The reaction is worked up by addition of water and extraction with ether. The combined organic extracts are washed with saturated sodium thiosulfate, with water and with brine, dried and solvent evaporated off to give 4-(1-methylpropylsulfinyl)phenoxyacetone O-ethyloxime.
