m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 9-Chloro-7-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-5H-pyrimido[5,4-d][2]-benzazepine-6-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.0 g (5.6 mmole) of 9-chloro-7-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-5H-pyrimido[5,4-d][2]benzazepine and 2.2 g (10.8 mmole) of 85% meta-chloroperbenzoic acid in 100 ml of methylene chloride was stirred at room temperature for 21 hr. The methylene chloride solution was washed with cold dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated at reduced pressure to dryness. Purification by plug filtration (silica gel, 25 g; eluent 1000 ml 1:1 ether methylene chloride) gave a colorless solid, mp 215°-216° C.
