m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 10319431, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-[2-(phenylsulfonylamino)ethylthio]phenoxyacetate (2 g) obtained in Example 3 in methylene chloride (30 ml) was added dropwise under ice cooling a solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (0.87 g) in methylene chloride (20 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for an hour, washed with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure gave a residue, which was then chromatographed on silica gel column (eluent; ethyl acetate) and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give ethyl 4-[2-(phenylsulfonylamino)ethylsulfinyl]phenoxyacetate (Compound No. 38) (1.76 g).
