Formic Acid → HCID 71254646, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,3-bis(azidomethyl)thietane (2.5 g, 13.59 mmol) in the mixture of formic acid (5 mL) and dichloromethane (6 mL) was added hydrogen peroxide (9.2 g, 81.54 mmol) slowly at 0° C. After being warmed slowly to room temperature and stirred at room temperature overnight, the mixture was diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (15 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography to afford 2.8 g of the desired product as a white solid (yield of two steps was 96%).
