Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 21.7 g. (70.7 mmole) of (±)-cis-3-allyloxy-6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-(1H-1-imidazolylmethyl) benzo[b]thiophene in 500 mL of CH2Cl2 and cool the solution to 0°-5°. Added 14.6 g (70.7 mmole) of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (tech. 80-85%) and stir the reaction mixture at 0°-5° for 1 hour. Extract the reaction mixture with 500 mL of 5% aqueous NaHCO3 followed by 500 mL of H2O. Dried the CH2Cl2 layer over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrate it to give (±)-cis-3-allyloxy-6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2-(1H-1-imidazolylmethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-1-oxide, a gum, m/e 322.
