1-bromo-3-methylsulfinylbenzene

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 3-Bromothioanisol (0.5 g, 2.46 mmol) was added to methylene chloride (12 mL) and chilled to 0° C. To this was added 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (0.467 g, 2.71 mmol). The m-CPBA did not dissolve completely. The mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with a saturated sodium thiosulfate (30 mL) solution. The product was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The organic fractions were combined, washed with brine (20 mL), and dried with sodium sulfate. The organic was then concentrated to yield 0.912 g (81%) 1-bromo-3-methanesulfinyl-benzene. 1HNMR (methylene chloride-d2) δ 7.83 (t, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.44 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 2.77 (s, 3H); LC-MS RT: 1.28, [M+H]+: 219.0. The reaction was quenched with a saturated sodium thiosulfate (30 mL) solution The product was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL) washed with brine (20 mL) dried with sodium sulfate The organic was then concentrated

Procedure: A mixture of 3-bromothioanisole (4.9687 g, 0.0245 mmol) and MCPBA (5.066 g, %) was stirred at room temperature. After 4 h, extractive EtOAc/H2O workup followed by flash chromatography (EtOAc/Hexanes, 50:50) provided the title compound (3.725 g, 69%) as an oil. 1H NMR (DMSO, 400 MHz): 7.80 (br s, 1H), 7.61 (d, J=8.01 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=8.01 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (t, J=8.01 Hz, 1H), 2.72 (s, 3H).
