Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-chloro-2,2,9-trimethyl-2H-pyrano[2,3-g]quinoline (200 mg, 0.77 mmol) in ethyl acetate (3.0 mL), N-methyl imidazole (0.012 mL, 0.154 mmol) and ent-Ph,Ph salen manganese complex (8.0 mg, 0.0077 mmol) were added at room temperature and aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution (1.0 g, 1.513 mol/kg, 1.54 mmol) was added dropwise, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 40 minutes. Aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution (1.0 g, 1.513 mol/kg, 1.54 mmol) was added dropwise, and the resulting mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Upon the completion of the reaction, aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution was added to the reaction solution, the resulting solution was filtered through celite and extracted. The organic phase was washed with aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and then with aqueous sodium chloride solution, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1) to obtain (3S*,4S*)-7-chloro-3,4-epoxy-2,2,9-trimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-g]quinoline (yield: 94%).
