Tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one → 1,1-Dioxo-tetrahydro-thiopyran-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one in CH3CN (50 mL) and H2O (35 mL) at 0° C. was added in portions over 1 hour a mixture of oxone (70.5 g, 115 mmol) and NaHCO3 (29.9 g, 356 mmol). The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1 h, diluted in CH3CN (250 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated, suspended in acetone and filtered. 1,1-Dioxo-tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one (6.3 g, quantitative yield) was obtained as a white solid.
