Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 4-isopropylsulfanylbenzoate (350 mg, 1.6 mmol) and H2O2 (180 μL of 30% w/v, 1.6 mmol) in AcOH (2 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 h. The mixture was poured into sat. aq. Na2CO3 and the pH was adjusted to 10 with solid Na2CO3. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The organics were combined and washed with sat. aq. Na2CO3, water (2×), then brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography (20-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to give ethyl 4-isopropylsulfinylbenzoate (65%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 240.1. found 241.3 (M+1)+. Retention time: 1.16 minutes (3 min run).
