Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution in which 30.3 g (300 mmol) of triethylamine and 34.4 g (200 mmol) of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxide (TEMPOL) were dissolved in 200 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF), 25.5 g (250 mmol) of acetic anhydride was added at 0° C. The temperature was raised to 25° C. to carry out a reaction for 12 hours, and it was then concentrated by a rotary evaporator. The residue was supplied to 1 liter of iced water, and the precipitated orange solid was collected by filtration to obtain 33.8 g of 4-acetyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxide.
