To a stirred solution of 2,2-dimethyl-4,7-dihydro-1,3-dioxepin (151.4 g, 1.18 mole) in methanol (500 ml) was added anhydrous sodium carbonate (85 g), followed by acetonitrile (150 ml). This suspension was treated with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30%; 315 ml, 2.78 mole) dropwise at such a rate that the temperature was maintained at 40°. After 5 hr. at 40°, the reaction mixture was poured into brine (1.5 l) and the solution was extracted with n-butanol. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried, and, then, freed of the solvent in vacuo. Vacuum distillation of the residue yielded the product (III) as a colorless liquid (114 g) (67% yield).
