Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-[(4-pyridyl)-thiomethyl]-2-quinoxalinecarboxylate-1,4-dioxide (0.03 moles) in 120 ml of chloroform was treated dropwise with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (0.03 moles) in 80 ml of chloroform at 0°-5° C. The solution after 2 hours was washed with 5% NaHCO3 solution (3 × 200 ml), water (1 × 60 ml) and then dried over sodium sulfate. The chloroform solution was concentrated to a small volume and added with stirring to 300 ml of ether to precipitate the desired product. Yield, 10.1 grams (94%); m.p. 137°-39° C. (dec.).
