Participants

Reaction Steps

5,6,7,8-Tetrahydroquinoline (3.0 g, 22.5 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (15 ml), and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (ca. 70%, 5.6 g, 22.5 mmol) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days, subjected to a silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate-ethanol (5:1, v/v) to give the titled compound (3.4 g, 97%).
