m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 21862862, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.35 g (1.0 mmol) of 4-methyl-2-(4-methylthiophenyl)-1-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)pyrrole (prepared as described in Example 66) was dissolved in 50 ml of chloroform, and 0.27 g (1.1 mmol) of 70% m-chloroperbenzoic acid was added to the resulting solution in several portions, whilst ice-cooling, after which the mixture was stirred for 1 hour, whilst ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was then diluted with chloroform and was washed with a 10% w/v aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate and with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate twice each, in that order. The organic layer was then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was applied to a silica gel chromatography column and eluted with a 95:5 by volume mixture of methylene chloride and methanol, to give 0.23 g (yield 63%) of the title compound as a pale orange-colored powder, melting at 222-226° C.
