Methanol → 2-(3-(Methylsulfonyl)propyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-methylsulfanyl-propyl)-isoindole-1,3-dione (440 mg) in methanol (10 mL) was added a solution of oxone (1.73 g) in water (10 mL) and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction was then diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted into dichloromethane (2×20 mL). The combined organics were washed with aqueous brine solution (2×20 mL), dried (MgSO4) and reduced in vacuo to give 2-(3-methanesulfonyl-propyl)-isoindole-1,3-dione as a white solid.
