Procedure

The (−) enantiomer of 2-(2-ethylsulfanyl-1-hydroxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-3-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile, the compound prepared as in Example 88 above (1 equivalent) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (5 mL/mmol). A separate aqueous solution of OXONE® (3 equivalents) and Bu4NHSO4 (0.3 mol %) (10 mL water/g of OXONE®) was prepared and the pH of this solution adjusted to about 7 by the addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. After the pH adjustment, this aqueous solution was added to the ethyl acetate solution and the resulting biphasic mixture vigorously stirred. After 8 hours, an additional 3 equivalents of the pH-adjusted OXONE® solution was added and the mixture stirred overnight. Ethyl acetate (10 mL/mmol of sulfide) was added and the aqueous phase was removed. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated to yield a yellow solid. This crude material (yellow solid) was purified using column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate as eluent) to yield the title compound as a white solid.
