m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 20464689, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.19 g (80%) of 3-chloroperbenzoic acid in 100 ml. of dichloromethane is added dropwise to a solution of 1.99 g. of [4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-imidazolyl]-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)sulfide in 150 ml. of dichloromethane. The mixture is stirred for 4 hours at room temperature, then washed with sodium bicarbonate solution; the organic solution is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue is crystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane. After recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane, 1.43 g. of [4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-imidazolyl]-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)sulfoxide is obtained, m.p. 203°-204°.
