Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a cooled solution of 5.0 g (9 mmol) of N-allyl-N,N-dioctadecylamine in 50 ml of chloroform at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere is added dropwise with stirring a solution of 2.82 g (9 mmol) of 55% active m-chloroperbenzoic acid in 25 ml of chloroform. After the addition is complete (approximately 10 minutes), the resultant solution is allowed to warm to ambient temperature (about 22°-24° C.). The reaction is complete after about 2 hours when TLC analysis (silica gel, 19:1 v/v ethyl acetate:methanol)indicates the starting material has completely reacted. The reaction mixture is passed through a short column of basic alumina using chloroform as an eluent to give 5.2 g (quantitative yield) of the title compound as a white solid melting at 59°-64° C.
