Procedure

3.15 g of 2-methylcyclohexanone and 3.85 g of cyclohexane percarboxylic acid, dissolved in n-hexane, are kept at 50° C. for 3 hours under agitation. The reaction product is treated with H2O, then neutralized with a solution of Na2CO3 and finally extracted with ethyl acetate. After solvent distillation, one obtains 3.3 g of 7-methyl-2-oxepanone, identified by mass spectrometry (EI, 70 eV), yielding the following m/e values: 128, 98, 80, 69, 55, 42.
