Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-fluoro-4-methyl-5-vinyl-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (420 mg, 1.71 mmol) in 10 mL of DCM was slowly added mCPBA (741 mg, 85% purity, 3.43 mmol) in 10 mL of DCM at 0° C. After warming to room temperature, the mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was washed with aqueous Na2SO3 until KI paper didn't change color. The organic layers was washed with brine and then concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give product 7-fluoro-4-methyl-5-oxiranyl-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one. The enantiomers of the product were resolved via SFC (Column Chiralpak AD-H 250*4.6 mm I.D., 5 μm; Mobile phase: methanol (0.05% DEA) in CO2 from 5% to 40%; Flow rate: 2.35 mL/min; Wavelength: 220 nm). MS m/z 209 (M+1)+.
