“…for m-Chloroperbenzoic acid (80 wt.%, 0.60 g, 2.8 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of the above sulfoxide (0.83 g, 2.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) at 25OC. After stimng for 2 h at 25"C, the reaction mixture was worked up as for lc to give material that was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using hexane -ethyl acetate to elute pure 7 a (0.70 g, 80%) as a solid that on crystallization from hexaneethyl acetate had mp 122-124°C; nmr (300)s: 2.81 (s, 3H, S02Me), 5.16 (s, 2H, CH2), 6.54 (dd, lH, J2,5 = 1.8 HZ, J4,5 = 2.6 HZ, H-5), 6.80 (t, lH, H-4), 6.89 (dd, lH, H-6'), 7.11 (t, lH, H-2), 7.19 (td, lH, H-5'). 7.27 (td, lH, H-4'), 7.59 (dd, lH, H-3').…”
