Sodium Thiosulfate → 3-(2-Benzyloxy-ethoxymethyl)-4-(4-chloro-benzenesulfonyl)-5,8-difluoro-chroman

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(2-Benzyloxy-ethoxymethyl)-4-(4-chloro-phenylsulfanyl)-5,8-difluoro-chroman (0.42 g, 0.88 mmole) was dissolved in 15 ml DCM and MCPBA (77%, 0.6 g, 2.6 mmole) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. 0.5 g sodium thiosulfate in 50 ml water and 50 ml EtOAc were added. The organic layer washed with 1N NaOH solution (50 ml), brine (50 ml), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The product was purified by column (EtOAc/hexane from 0/100 to 50/50 in 45 minutes). Yield: 0.40 g, 89%. 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 MHz δ 7.73 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.4 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.25-7.37 (m, 5H), 7.02 (m, 1H), 6.42 (m, 1H), 4.90 (dd, J=11.7 and 2.9 Hz, 1H), 4.63 (s, 1H), 4.50 (s, 2H), 4.38 (t, J=11.0, 1H), 3.45-3.62 (m, 5H), 3.30 (t, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 3.13 (m, 1H).
