Water → 3-(5-difluoromethoxy-1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-ylmethanesulfinyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2-isoxazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.2 g (17.3 mmol) of 3-(5-difluoromethoxy-1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-ylmethylthio)-5,5-dimethyl-2-isoxazoline in 40 ml of chloroform was added 3.4 g (purity: 70%, 13.8 mmol) of m-chloroperbenzoic acid under ice-cooling, followed by 1 hour of stirring. Thereafter, the whole was further stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After the completion of the reaction was confirmed, the reaction solution was poured into water and extracted with chloroform. The resulting organic layer was washed with an aqueous sodium hydrogen sulfite solution, an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, water, and saline, successively, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure and the resulting solid was washed with n-hexane to obtain 4.1 g (yield: 63.2%) of 3-(5-difluoromethoxy-1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-ylmethanesulfinyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2-isoxazoline as a white powder (melting point: 112 to 114° C.).
