m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → Benzyl 6-oxa-3-azabicyclo(3.1.0)hexane-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of benzyl 2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-1-carboxylate (5 g, 24.60 mmol) in DCM (80 mL) was added 3-chlorobenzoperoxoic acid (6.89 g, 30.75 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was then stirred at rt overnight. The reaction mixture was then filtered through a bed of Celite and the filtrate was washed with sat'd aqueous Na2CO3 and brine. The organic was then separated and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and conc. in vacuo to yield the title compound that was used for next step without further purification.
