Participants

Reaction Steps

Magnesium oxide (0.443 g, 11.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (94.6%, 2.00 g, 11.0 mmol) and benzoic acid (1.26 g, 10.3 mmol) in 65 mL of ethyl acetate and 0.80 mL of water. After 90 min of vigorous stirring, the precipitate was collected via filtration, washed with ethyl acetate (ca. 50 mL), and vacuum dried to give 3.50 g (82% based on Mg2+) of a white powder: Anal. Calcd for C14H17ClMgO9 : C, 43.22; H, 4.40; Cl, 9.11; Mg, 6.25; O(active), 4.11. Found: C, 43.88; H, 4.07; Cl, 9.79; Mg, 6.80; O(active), 3.95.
