Reaction Steps

[7-(4-chloro-benzenesulfonyl)-7-(2,3,6-trifluoro-phenyl)-1-heptene (0.65 g, 1.6 mmole) and mCPBA (77%, 0.71 g, 3.2 mmole) were stirred in 50 mL DCM for 5 hours. 2 g Na2S2O3 in 100 mL water were added to quench excess mCPBA. The organic layer was separated, washed with 1N NaOH solution (50 mL), brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The product was purified by column chromatography using EtOAc/Hexane as eluent (Gradient from 0/100 to 40/60 in 40 minute, 0.52 g, 77%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.63 (d, j=8.05 Hz, 2H), 7.45 (d, j=8.05 Hz, 2H), 7.15 (m, 1H), 6.83 (m, 0.5H), 6.74 (m, 0.5H), 4.58 (dd, j=5.1 and 6.5 Hz, 1H), 2.84 (m, 1H), 2.71 (t, j=4.4 Hz, 1H), 2.41 (dd, j=2.9 and 5.1 Hz), 2.45 (m, 1H), 2.34 (m, 1H), 1.25-1.55 (m, 6H).
