Sodium Sulfite → HCID 13596601, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

m-Chloroperbenzoic acid (115.0 g, 0.567 mol) was added to a suspension of the 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal (50.0 g, 0.252 mol) prepared in Preparative Example 1 and sodium hydrogencarbonate (73.1 g) in dichloromethane (1.00 l) at 0° to 10° C. in portions (over a period of about one hour and 20 minutes). The obtained suspension was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and poured into an aqueous solution (1 l) of sodium sulfite (100.0 g) under cooling to decompose excess peracid. The resulting solution was extracted with dichloromethane and the organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of common salt, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in a vacuum. The obtained solid residue was recrystallized from hexane/isopropyl ether/ethyl acetate to give the title compound as a colorless crystal (53.9 g, yield: 93%).
