m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 59577235, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-({2-[4-(2-tert-butyl-4-fluorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}sulfanyl)phenol (292 mg, 0.70 mmol) obtained in Example 239 and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (275 mg, 1.12 mmol) in ethyl acetate (14 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 3 hr. Saturated aqueous sodium bisulfite solution (5 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate 90:10-20:80) to give 2-({2-[4-(2-tert-butyl-4-fluorophenoxy)piperidin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}sulfinyl)phenol (163 mg, 54%) as a white solid.
