Reaction Steps

To 6.4 g. (0.06 moles) anhydrous sodium carbonate in 60 cc. H2O was added 10.2 g. (0.05 moles) of m-chloroperbenzoic acid of 84.35% purity. The stirred mixture was chilled to -2° C. and 8.5 g. (0.06 moles) 2-chlorobutyryl chloride in 30 cc. chloroform was added over 17 minutes. After a total reaction time of 60 minutes, the reaction was worked up as in Example I and gave 15.2 g. product. Product A.O. analysis: theory, 5.77; found, 5.15; 89.30% pure; 97.7% yield.
