Hydrogen Peroxide → 1,4-Dioxa-8lambda4-thiaspiro(4.5)decan-8-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A room temperature mixture of 13.8 g of product from Example 392 dissolved in 100 ml of acetic acid is treated, dropwise over 20 minutes, with 9.0 mlof 30% hydrogen peroxide. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, concentrated in vacuo at 50° C., and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed 2 X with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water and saturated sodium chloride, dried and concentrated in vacuo. The aqueous washes are combined and concentrated in vacuo to about 25 ml. The residue is saturated with solid potassium carbonate and extracted 2 X with 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phase is concentrated in vacuo to a solid which is triturated withhexane and collected to give 13.1 g of the desired product.
