m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 66854770, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of ethyl 4-phenyl-2-pyridin-4-yl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate (2.6 g, 8.5 mmol) produced above in acetonitrile (300 mL) was added m-chloroperbenzoic acid (containing water, about 70%, 3.9 g, about 16.0 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to about 100 mL, and the obtained suspension was diluted with ethyl acetate (300 mL), and washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium bisulfite solution (150 mL×2) and saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution (150 mL×2). The combined aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (200 mL×2). The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the insoluble material was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained solid was washed with ethyl acetate, and collected by filtration to give the title compound (2.0 g, 72%) as a yellow solid.
