Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 0.101 g (0.37 mmol) of ferric chloride hexahydrate and 0.115 g (1.9 mmol) of glacial acetic acid in 2 ml of water is added to a mixture of 5.00 g (18.1 mmol) of 1-oxyl-4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 27 ml of methanol, and 18 ml of cyclohexane. The mixture is heated to reflux, 55° C. A solution of 4.9 g (72 mmol) of 50% aqueous hydrogen peroxide is added dropwise over 2.25 hours to the reaction mixture while the temperature is brought to and maintained at reflux. After the peroxide is added, the reaction mixture tests negative for hydrogen peroxide. The yield of the title compound, after work-up with ethyl acetate and purification by flash chromatography, is 2.63 g (40% yield, GC assay 100%).
