m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 11,11-Diphenylundec-1-ene Oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.53 g of 11,11-diphenylundec-1-ene in 25 mL of dichloromethane was added 1.5 g of 50-60% by wt of m-chloroperbenzoic acid and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hrs. The solution was diluted with diethyl ether and washed with 10% by wt aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen sulfite, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentration in vacuo gave 1.5 g of 11,11-diphenylundec-1-ene oxide which is characterized by:
