Participants

Reaction Steps

160 mg of 3-methylthiomethyl-β-carboline are stirred in 15 ml of methylene chloride with 163 mg of m-chloroperbenzoic acid for 3 hours at room temperature. After extraction with semiconcentrated sodium bicarbonate solution, the organic phase is dried, filtered and concentrated. The residue is stirred with ethyl acetate/ethanol. 76 mg of 3-methylsulfinylmethyl-β-carboline with a 175°-178° C. melting point are obtained as a residue.
