m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 14097124, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(3-methyl-4-propoxy-2-pyridyl)methylthiobenzimidazole (1 g) in chloroform (20 ml) was added dropwise over 10 minutes under ice-cooling m-chloroperbenzoic acid (750 mg) dissolved in chloroform (10 ml). The solution was chromatographed directly on a column of silica gel (50 g), which was eluted with ethyl acetatehexane (1:1) and then with 5% methanol-ethyl acetate. From the eluate was removed the solvent. The residue was recrystallized from acetone-ether-hexane to give 415 mg of 2-[3-methyl-4-propoxy-2-pyridyl)methylsulfinylbenzimidazole.4/5H2O as crystals, m.p. 81°-83° C.
