Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(4-nitrophenylthio)-3-t-butyl-6-methylsalicylic acid (2.0 g.) in acetic acid (200 ml.) is mixed with 30% w/v aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (11 ml.). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 6 hours and then added to water (700 ml.). The precipitated solid thus formed is separated by filtration and crystallised from acetic acid to give 5-(4-nitrophenylsulphinyl)-3-t-butyl-6-methylsalicylic acid, m.p. 201°-202° C.
