Procedure

460 mg of the amide (7) from the Example 1 was dissolved in 30 ml of dichloromethane. 560 mg of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (purity 70-75%) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at reflux. The reaction was monitored with HPLC. The reaction mixture was washed successively with 2×20 ml of a sodium sulfite solution, 2×20 ml of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and 20 ml of brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtrated and evaporated under reduced pressure yielding the epoxide (5A) as yellow solid material. Isolated yield: 400 mg (82%). 1H- and 13C-NMR confirmed the expected structure. HPLC: 96% purity.
