m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 3-Chlorobenzoic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound (e1) (54 mg) and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (23.4 mg) were stirred together in water (2 ml). After 10 minutes the m-chlorobenzoic acid that had formed was filtered off, the pH was adjusted to 7 by the addition of a small amount of dilute sodium bicarbonate solution and the water was then removed by evaporation on a rotary evaporator to yield the compound (e2) as a solid (60%).
