Sodium Sulfite → 5-Benzyloxy-3-methylsulfinyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 12 ml of chloroform was dissolved 1.39 g of 5-benzyloxy-3-methylthio-1,2,4-thiadiazole, and metachloroperbenzoic acid (>70%) was slowly added to the mixture under ice-cooling. After stirring for 1 hour, the compound of low-polarity from the reaction mixture was detected by thin layer chromatography. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturated sodium sulfite aqueous solution, and separated. The organic layer was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated to give 1.4 g of 5-benzyloxy-3-methylsulfinyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole.
