Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2,6Diisopropyl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-[4-(methylthio)phenyl]-5-(pent-1-enyl)pyridine (100 mg, 0.261 mmol) (Example 174) was dissolved in methylene chloride (1.5 mL) and stirred at 0° C. under an argon atmosphere. To this mixture was added a solution containing 3-chloroperoxybenzoic add (“mCPBA”) (85%, 53 mg, 0.261 mmol) in methylene chloride (1 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at 0° C. and quenched with the addition of a saturated aqueous solution of NaHSO3 (3 mL). The reaction mixture was further diluted through the addition of water (5 mL) and then extracted with methylene chloride (3×10 mL). The combined organic layer was washed sequentially with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography to yield the title compound (52 mg, 50%) as a white solid, mp 133-135° C. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 0.77 and 0.69 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 3 H), 1.08-1.36 (m, 14 H), 1.70-1.92 (m, 3 H), 2.75 and 2.76 (s, 3 H), 3.19-3.51 (m, 2 H), 4.32-4.40 (m, 2 H), 5.20-5.45 (m, 1 H), 5.93-6.00 (m, 1 H), 7.31-7.38 (m, 2 H), 7.59-7.70 (m, 2 H). Anal. calc. for C24H33NO2S: C, 71.86; H, 8.29; N, 3.39; S, 7.73. Found: C, 72.14; H, 8.32; N, 3.51; S, 8.02.
