m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → tert-Butyl 7-Oxa-3-azabicyclo(4.1.0)heptane-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-boc-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (3.63 g, 21.0 mmol) in 40 mL of dichloromethane was added 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (2.75 g, 15.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 h, then washed 3× with saturated aqueous potassium carbonate and once with brine. The solution was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to provide crude tert-butyl 7-oxa-3-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylate that gave a proton NMR spectra consistent with theory.
