Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3 (1.4 g, 12 mmol) and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (2.92 g, 14.4 mmol) in methylene chloride (40 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. It was then diluted with ether, washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, saturated aqueous sodium chloride, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent afforded 1.64 g of the crude 6,7-epoxy-1-heptanol (5).
