Reaction Steps

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (2.0 g) was added to a solution of 5-cyclopropyl-4-[3,4-dichloro-2-(methylsulphenyl)benzoyl]isoxazole (1.86 g) in dichloromethane while maintaining the temperature around -15° C. The mixture was stirred at -15° C. for 1 hour and at room temperature for 1 hour. It was recooled to -15° C. and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by dry column flash chromatography eluted with a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane. The product was recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane to give 5-cyclopropyl-4-[3,4-dichloro-2-(methylsulphinyl)benzoyl]isoxazole (0.3 g) as a white solid, m.p. 110°-112° C.
