Hydrogen Peroxide → HCID 58706328, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (±)-3-ethanesulfinyl-5-ethoxy-benzaldehyde (0.39 g, 1.72 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in conc. acetic acid (10 mL) was added a solution of 35% hydrogen peroxide in water (0.60 mL, 0.67 g, 6.89 mmol, 4.0 equiv). After stirring the reaction mixture for 18 h at rt, the pH was adjusted to 10 by addition of a 1 M solution of NaOH, extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL) and the combined organic phases dried over MgSO4. The organic solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure and the crude material purified with column chromatography on silica eluting with heptane/ethyl acetate (1:1) providing 0.09 g (22%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.31 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H), 1.48 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 3.17 (q, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 4.17 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 7.63-7.66 (m, 2H), 7.94-7.95 (m, 1H), 10.04 (s, 1H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ 11.46, 18.59, 54.59, 68.89, 122.74, 123.94, 125.68, 142.60, 145.26, 164.29, 194.24. MS (ISP): 243.3 [M+H]+.
