Reaction Steps

18 g m-chloroperbenzoic acid was added to 10 g benzyl 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-azepine-1-carboxylate in 250 ml dichloromethane at 0° C. in several portions. The mixture was allowed to warm to RT over 2 h. 1 L ethyl acetate was added and the solution was extracted with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide and brine. The organic layer was evaporated and the residue was purified by chromatographie on silica gel (ethyl acetae/hexanes 1:5) to yield 10.4 g of the desired product.
