Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[3-(5-chloro-2-thienyl)-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine (1 eq, 12 mmol) in 315 mL of dichloromethane was added meta chloroperbenzoic acid 77% (2 eq, 24 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 72 h and then quenched with water. Sodium sulfite (2.1 eq, 25 mmol) was added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was then washed twice with a 2M solution of potassium carbonate, dried over MgSO4 filtered and concentrated to afford 4 g of 4-[3-(5-Chloro-2-thienyl)-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-2-(methylsulfonyl)pyrimidine (65% yield) in a 8:2 mixture with the corresponding sulfoxide. The crude material was used in the next step without further purification.
