Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-methoxy-2-methylsulfanyl-quinoline (1.0 g, 5 mmoles) in 100 mL 1:1 MeOH/THF was treated with a solution of 5 g OXONE™ in 50 mL water and stirred for 2–3 hours until the oxidation is complete. The mixture is poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase is dried and evaporated to yield 2-methanesulfonyl-6-methoxy-quinoline as a crystalline white product.
