Reaction Steps

(E)-N-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-1,1-diphenylmethanamine 39 (3.62 g, 12.0 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (130 mL) at 0° C., followed by the portionwise addition of mCPBA (2.96 g, 13.2 mmol). The resulting solution was warmed to room temperature, and stirred for 16 h prior to being transferred to a separatory funnel, and being washed 3 times with 50 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford 40 as a light yellow oil (3.52 g, 92%). LRMS (ESI): (calc.) 317.4 (found) 318.2 (MH)+.
