m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → tert-Butyl 7-Oxa-3-azabicyclo(4.1.0)heptane-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (19.1 mmol, 3.5 g), in DCM (50 mL) cooled at 0° C., was added m-CPBA (32.2 mmol, 5.95 g (70%)) portion wise. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction was diluted with DCM (50 mL) and washed with sat. Na2S2O3, sat. NaHCO3, water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on a SiO2 cartridge (5% EtOAc in hexane -25% EtOAc in hexane) to provide 7-oxa-3-aza-bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
