Potassium carbonate (0.2 g, 1.5 mmol) was then added, followed by commercial 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (2 mL). The reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature with stirring over 1 h. Water (20 mL) was added and the 1-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid amide collected as a white solid. Yield: 2.1 g (90%).
