Reaktionsschritte

To a stirring solution of 4-allylanisole (3.1 g, 20.9 mmol) in 50 mL dichloromethane was added 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (80%, 6.7 g, 31.4 mmol) at room temperature. TLC (20:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) showed no remaining allyl after 3 h. The precipitate was removed via filtration and washed with hexanes. The filtrate was purified on 40 g silica eluting with 0 to 10% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give the product.
