m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-[2-(methanesulfinyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 5 ml of chloroform was dissolved 0.8 g of 4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylthiothiazole and then 0.4 g of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (80%) was added portionwise to the solution with stirring. After 30 minutes since then, the reaction mixture was washed with an aqueous 5% sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and the chloroform layer was concentrated. The crystals thus obtained were recrystallized from hexane to provide 0.45 g of 4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylsulfinylthiazole.
