m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 20344104, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.1 mol of 2-amino-7-isobutylthio-3-nitronaphthalene, prepared in Example 5, stirring in 200 ml of chloroform at 4°-6° (ice bath), is added 0.1 mol of m-chloroperbenzoic acid in 160 ml of chloroform over 3 hours. Consumption of starting material is confirmed by TLC (silica gel, ether). The reaction mixture is washed 3 times with saturated NaHCO3 solution, dried (Na2SO4), and filtered. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness under vacuum and the residue recrystallized from ethanol (absolute) to yield the title compound.
