Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Bromo-5-methylsulfanylmethyl-pyridine (6.0 g, 28 mmol) is dissolved in chloroform (200 mL) and the solution is cooled to 0° C. Meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (7.2 g, 30 mmol, 72%) is added slowly at 0° C. and the reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 hr. Then the solvent is removed and the residue is purified by flash column chromatography to give 3.5 g of 3-bromo-5-methanesulfinylmethyl-pyridine.
