Toluene → HCID 11780352, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.58 g (0.015 mol) of 1-oxyl-4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and 27.64 g (0.30 mol) of toluene under a nitrogen atmosphere is heated in a pressure vessel for 53 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with diethyl ether and the resultant mixture is washed with 10 w/v % ascorbic acid (1×50 mL) and distilled water (2×50 mL). The organic phase is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the volatiles are removed in vacuo. The residue is recrystallized from heptane to give 0.59 g (30% yield) of a white solid melting at 86-87° C.
