m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 54215893, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

101 mg of 6-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-4-(3-methyl-2-pyridyl)-2H-1-benzopyran were dissolved in 5 ml of dichloromethane at room temperature and 91 mg of m-chloroperbenzoic acid were added. After 1 hour the mixture was washed in succession with sodium bisulphite solution, sodium bicarbonate solution and water. The organic extract was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated to give an oil. This oil was triturated with t-butyl methyl ether to give a solid which, after recrystallization from ethyl acetate/t-butyl methyl ether, gave 28 mg of 2-(6-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl)-3-methylpyridine N-oxide of melting point 154°-156° C.
