Sodium Methoxide → 2-Methoxy-5-phenylsulfinylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-bromo-5-phenylsulfinylpyridine (2.82 g., 0.01 mole) and 0.50 g. of sodium methoxide is heated in 50 ml. of refluxing methanol for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is evaporated in vacuo, and the residue is diluted with water. The solids are collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to yield 2-methoxy-5-phenylsulfinylpyridine.
