Acetic Acid → 6-(5-(Methylsulfonyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzo[d]isothiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 6-(5-(methylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzo[d]isothiazole (0.20 g, 0.75 mmol) and hydrogen peroxide (0.19 mL, 1.9 mmol) in AcOH (2.00 mL, 35 mmol) was added sodium tungstate (0.0026 mL, 0.038 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature 16 hours. The mixture was diluted with aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL), water (10 mL) and EtOAc (5 mL). The separated aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×10 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to give the product as a residue which was used without further purification.
