Reaction Steps

trans-N-Cyanomethyl-2-(4-bromophenylsulfanylmethyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide (197 mg, 0.536 mmol), prepared as in Example 1 but substituting 4-fluorothiophenol with 4-bromothiophenol, was weighed into a 50 mL round bottom flask fitted with a stirrer and vented cap. Methanol (20 mL) was added to the flask and the reaction mixture was warmed to 50° C. until a clear colorless solution formed. Added sodium periodate (128 mg, 0.599 mmol) solution in water (2.0 mL). A white precipitate slowly formed. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 8 h and then concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The residue was triturated in hot water (20 mL) and the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. Solids were isolated by filtration, washed thoroughly with water and dried under high vacuum to give trans-N-cyanomethyl-2-(4-bromophenylsulfinylmethyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide as a white solid.
