Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

812 mL (40.6 mmol) of dimethyldioxirane, 0.050M in acetone, is added via a cannula to a 0° C. solution of 12.0 g (40.6 mmol) of 2,6-diphenyl-4-piperidone ethylene petal in 100 mL acetone. After stirring for ten minutes at 0° C., the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is recrystallized from methanol to yield 9.0 g (72%) of the title compound as a white solid, melting at 161°-162° C.
