Methyl 3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzothia-zole-2-acetate 1,1-dioxide
Abstract:
The title mol-ecule, C(10)H(9)NO(5)S, is composed of two essentially planar units with a dihedral angle of 89.16 (6)° between them. In the crystal structure, there are weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions resulting in dimeric pairs of mol-ecules about inversion centres and chains of mol-ecules extended along the a and c axes, thus stabilizing the structure. In addition, benzothia-zole rings lying parallel to each other with centroid-centroid distances of 3.679 (2) and 3.999 (2) Å indicate the existence of π-π stacking inter-actions.

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
Phase II Reactions: Methylation Reactions
The mechanism of methylation unfolds in two stages. The first stage sees a methyltransferase enzyme facilitating the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the substrate, forming S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). The second stage involves further metabolism of SAH into homocysteine, which can be recycled...
