Methyl morpholine oxide → 5-nitro-2-(4-oxocyclohexylamino)-N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(trans-4-hydroxycyclohexylamino)-5-nitro-N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)benzamide (100 mg) in dichloromethane (3 mL) and acetonitrile (0.4 mL) were added tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (4.25 mg), 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide (42.5 mg) and molecular sieves (4 Å, 0.2 g). The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature. The mixture was subjected to a silica gel chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate to give 5-nitro-2-(4-oxocyclohexylamino)-N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)benzamide (92 mg) as a solid substance.
