m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 178504614, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.32 g of 4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylthioimidazole in 5 ml of chloroform was added 0.18 g of m-chloroperbenzoic acid at room temperature and the mixture was stirred for a day. The reaction mixture was washed with a diluted alkali solution, dried, concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue thus formed was recrystallized from cyclohexane to provide 0.13 g of 4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylsulfinylimidazole.
