Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 0.268 g (0.964 mmol) of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and 0.350 g (3.64 mmol) of methanesulfonic acid in 3.7 g of water is added to a mixture of 10.3 g (20.2 mmol) of bis(1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl) sebacate, 110 ml of acetonitrile, and 60 ml of cyclohexane. The mixture is heated to 55° C. A solution of 11.0 g (162 mmol) of 50% aqueous hydrogen peroxide is added dropwise to the reaction mixture over 4.75 hours while the reaction temperature is brought to and maintained at reflux. A solution of 0.098 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and 0.128 g of methanesulfonic acid in 0.3 g of water is added to the reaction mixture 2.25 hours after the peroxide addition is started. A solution of 0.053 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and 0.070 g of methanesulfonic acid in 0.4 g of water is added to the reaction mixture 4 hours after the peroxide addition is started. After all the peroxide is added, the reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 45 minutes. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool slowly to room temperature while stirring is continued. Peroxide is decomposed by the addition of 4.5 g of sodium sulfite. The aqueous layer is discarded, and after concentration of the organic solution, the crude product is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with 20:1 heptane-ethyl acetate to afford 5.9 g (43% yield) of the title compound, a colorless oil. The structure of the reaction product is verified by NMR analysis.
