Hydrogen Peroxide → N-(1-cyclohexylmethylpiperid-4-yl)-2-methoxy-4-acetamido-5-chlorobenzamide N-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(1-cyclohexylmethylpiperid-4-yl)-2-methoxy-4-acetamido-5-chlorobenzamide (10 g; 0.023 moles) in glacial acetic acid (50 ml) a 30% hydrogen peroxide solution (6 ml) was added. The mixture was heated for 8 hours at a temperature between 70° and 80° C. Afterwards the solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and N-(1-cyclohexylmethylpiperid-4-yl)-2-methoxy-4-acetamido-5-chlorobenzamide N-oxide was obtained as a viscous liquid. After recrystallisation from a mixture of acetone and diethyl ether, there was obtained 7.3 g of the N-oxide, melting at 206°-208° C.
