m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 2-Oxiranylmethoxyphenylsulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 15.3 g of 3-chloroperbenzoic acid in 270 ml of absolute methylene chloride are added 14.2 g of 2-allyloxyphenylsulfonamide over 2 minutes. The solution is then heated to reflux for 3 hours, cooled, and then washed three times with saturated sodium carbonate solution and once with water. The organic phase is dried and concentrated, affording 11.9 g of 2-oxiranylmethoxyphenylsulfonamide with a melting point of 132°-133° C.
