Sodium Hydroxide → 5-(2-Fluoro-4-pyridyl)-4-(3-methylphenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-1,3-thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-fluoro-4-pyridyl)-4-(3-methylphenyl)-2-(4-methylthiophenyl)-1,3-thiazole (2.7 g, 6.9 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (60 mL) was added m-chloroperbenzoic acid (3.3 g, 14 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. An 8N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added to the reaction mixture and the resulting solid was collected by filtration. This solid was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 2.5 g (yield 85%) of the title compound.
