Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound prepared in Example 4(c), β-(4-chlorophenyl)-β-methylene ethanol (1.05g) in chloroform (50 mL) add, with cooling, (ice bath) a solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (1.2g) in chloroform. Stir the chloroform solution for 4 hr. Wash the chloroform solution, successively, with aqueous 10% NaHSO3 (to remove excess per acid) followed by aqueous NaHCO3 and finally with water. Dry (Na2SO4) the chloroform solution. Remove the chloroform in vacuo to provide the title compound as a colourless oil (0.83 g).
