m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 5-(2-Fluoro-4-methylphenyl)nicotinic acid 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)nicotinic acid (0.15 g, 0.43 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) and methanol (3 mL) was added 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (70%; 0.16 g, 0.65 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature. After 18 h, additional 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (70%; 0.19 g, 0.86 mmol) was added. The mixture was continued to stir at ambient temperature. After 24 h, additional 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (70%; 0.19 g, 0.86 mmol) was added. After 18 h, the mixture was concentrated. Purification by reverse chromatography (C-18, 95% water/acetonitrile→25% water/acetonitrile with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) gave the title compound (70 mg). MS 248.0 (M+1).
