m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 14820152, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.46 g of 5-[4-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-allylphenoxy]pentanenitrile in 100 ml of methylene chloride were added 6.1 g of 85% meta-chloroperbenzoic acid. After stirring for 5 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and a cold sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to approximately 35 ml. The solution was placed in a freezer overnight providing 4.08 g of the crystalline title product which were recovered by filtration, m.p. 86°-87° C.
