m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 4-(4-Nitrophenylmethyl)-thiomorpholine-1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

11.7 g (58 mmol) of m-chloroperbenzoic acid are added to a solution of 11.5 g (48 mmol) of 4-(4-nitrophenylmethyl)-thiomorpholine in 100 ml of dichloromethane at ambient temperature. The reaction solution is stirred for 4 hours at ambient temperature and then washed with 1N sodium hydroxide solution and water and evaporated to dryness. Chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol=9:1) yields the product.
