Participants

Reaction Steps

116 mg (0.54 mmol) of sodium periodate are added at ambient temperature in 4 equal portions, every quarter of an hour, to 135 mg (0.54 mmol) of methyl 3-hydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-7-carboxylate, prepared according to example 45, in solution in 16 ml of a 3/1 dioxane/water mixture. After the usual treatments, the crude reaction product is purified by chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate/heptane 25/75) to give 53 mg (45%) of methyl 3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-7-carboxylate in the form of a white solid; M.p.=98° C.
