Reaction Steps

270 mg (0.58 mmol) of N-{2-[bis(phenylsulphanyl)methyl]-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-ylidene}aniline are dissolved in 25 ml of dichloromethane, 157 mg (0.64 mmol) of 70 percent strength meta-chloroperbenzoic acid are added at 0° C. and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The mixture is then diluted with dichloromethane and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and the organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by preparative HPLC (RP18, mobile phase: acetonitrile/water) gives 45 mg of N-[(2E)-2-[(phenylsulphanyl)methylene]-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-ylidene]aniline.
