Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 2-chloroethyl heptyl sulfide (1.0 g, 5.13 mmol) in methylene chloride (50 mL). Add metachloroperbenzoic acid (3.2 g, 15 mmol) portionwise and stir at room temperature for 1 hour. Add addition metachloroperbenzoic acid (1.0 g) and stir at room temperature for 2 hours. Treat with saturated sodium meta bisulfite (until negative starch-iodide test) and basify with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate. Extract with methylene chloride (2×25 mL), dry (MgSO4) and evaporate in vacuo to yield 1.23 g 2-chloroethyl heptyl sulfone as a white solid; MS (CI/CH4) m/z 227(M+1).
