To a solution of sulfide (–)-30 (700 mg, 0.64 mmol) in
CH Cl (15 mL) was added solid NaHCO (244 mg, 2.9
mmol) and mCPBA (85%, 448 mg, 2.6 mmol) sequentially
at 0 ℃ to give a milk-colored slurry. After slowly warming
to 25 ℃ and stirring for 30 min, the reaction mixture was
quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO
poured into water (10 mL), and extracted with CH
10 mL). The combined organic layer was then washed with
brine (3×10 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate,
filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a desired
sulfone intermediate (720 mg) as yellow oil. Then, this oil
