Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl {1-[4-(phenylacetyl)phenyl]cyclobutyl}carbamate (5.0 g, 13.68 mmol, 1.0 eq) and pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide (4.38 g, 13.68 mmol, 1.0 eq) in THF (78 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water, and the organic phase washed with an aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution and brine, dried, filtered through a silicone coated filter paper, and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude title compound (5.44 g, 93% purity by UPLC-MS) which was used without further purification.
