Hydrogen Peroxide → 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3,3-dimethoxycyclobutanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrogen peroxide (2.05 ml, 20.07 mmol) was added over 2 h to a stirred mixture of 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3,3-dimethoxycyclobutanecarbonitrile (3.18 g, 10.74 mmol) and Potassium carbonate (0.297 g, 2.15 mmol) in DMSO (11 ml) at 40 degree under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the addition, the reaction mixture was heated to 80 degree for 3 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature and water (30 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The combined organic phase was washed with water (2×30 ml), brine (30 ml), concentrated to give light yellow oil (3.3 g). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) 7.40 (d, 2H), 7.11 (d, 2H), 5.89 (br, 1H), 5.58 (br, 1H), 3.12 (s, 3H), 3.02 (s, 3H), 2.97 (d, 2H), 2.52 (d, 2H).
