Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium acetate trihydrate (6 g) in peracetic acid (38 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 1-(3-methoxyphenyl) cyclopentene (33.5 g) in dichloromethane (200 ml), maintaining the temperature in the range 0°-10°. The solution was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature and then washed with 8% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (700 ml) and 8% sodium thiosulphate solution (400 ml). The organic phase was separated, dried and evaporated and the residue was distilled in vacuo to give the title compound as a colourless oil (25 g) b.p. 89°-92° (0.01 mm).
