Reaction Steps

Wet alumina was prepared by adding water (1 ml) to Brockman grade I alumina (5 g). To a stirred solution of the sulphide from Example 250 (134 mg, 0.40 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 ml) was added of wet alumina (400 mg) followed by Oxone® (123 mg, 0.4 mmol) and the mixture was heated at reflux. After 1 hour a second portion of oxone (123 mg, 0.40 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated for a further 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was filtered and the resulting solids were washed with dichloromethane (20 ml). The filtrate was concentrated and was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane:methanol (a gradient from 99:1 to 90:10, by volume) to provide the title compound (92 mg) as an oil.
