Peracetic Acid → Sufotidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Peracetic acid (1.05 ml of a 6.1M solution) in acetic acid (7 ml) was added to an ice-cooled solution of 1-methyl-3-methylthiomethyl-N-[3-[3-(1-piperidinylmethyl)phenoxy]propyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine (0.82 g) in acetic acid (10 ml) with sodium acetate (0.52 g). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h, sodium sulphite (1.25 g) added and the mixture evaporated to dryness. The residue was basified to pH 8 with sodium bicarbonate solution, washed with ethyl acetate, basified to pH 10 with sodium carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate to give a foam (0.46 g). This was crystallised from methyl acetate-petroleum ether (b.p. 60°-80°) to give the title compound as a white solid (0.22 g), m.p. 121°-122°.
