Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.0 g (10 mmol) (3) in 30 mL ethyl acetate was stirred and cooled down in dry ice bath. MCPBA (1.75 g, 10 mmol) in 30 mL ethyl acetate was added dropwise to the reaction solution. After the addition, the mixture was kept stirring for overnight. Then the solvent was removed by evaporation and the residue contained a crude product of (4) and 3-chlorobenzoic acid.
