Reaction Steps

A solution of Oxone (Trade Mark) (581 mg, 0.946 mmol) in water was added to a stirred suspension of the sulphide of Example 21 (200 mg, 0.63 mmol) in methanol (2.5 ml) at 0° C. producing a viscous white suspension. The cooling bath was removed and further methanol (2.5 ml) was added to aid dissolution and stirring. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2½ hours and at 50° C. for 24 hours. After cooling the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (50 ml) and water (25 ml). The organic layer was washed with brine (25 ml), dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to leave a white solid (195 mg). The crude product was pre-absorbed on silica gel and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with methanol:dichloromethane (2:98, by volume) to provide the title compound (175 mg) as a white solid, m.p. 199-200° C.
