m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 13343800, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

50 ml of a 10% solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid in ethyl acetate were added dropwise with intensive stirring and at 0°-5° C. to 6.7 g of 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-[[(5-methyl-2-pyridyl)-methyl]thio]indeno(5,6-d)imidazole, dissolved in 200 ml of methylene chloride. After stirring at 0°-5° C. for 3 hours, the mixture was poured into 1 l of methylene chloride, it was washed twice with 250 g of 2N soda, then neutral with water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. 6.5 g of crude product were recrystallized from acetonitrile. There were obtained 4.6 g (65.1% of theory) of 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-[[(5-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]sulfinyl]indeno(5,6-d)imidazole of melting point 190°-201° C.
