Reaction Steps

To a 50 ml volume three-necked flask, 1-[2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl]-1-methyl-2-(1-methylsulfanyl-2-propylidene)hydrazine ((4-4)-(1)-39) (5.60 g) and methanol (14 ml) were added, and cooled on ice-bath. 33% of aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (2.1 g) was added dropwise thereto. Then, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate to chloroform) to give 1.95 g of 1-[2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl]-1-methyl-2-(1-methylsulfinyl-2-propylidene)hydrazine ((4-19)-(1)-39).
