Oxidation with peracetic acid

Ask Jadzie  Follow
Hydrogen peroxide is so slow, needs heating and long reaction time when you have stericaly hindered amine.
M-CPBA is more difficult to remove, needs chromatography.

Great! Thank you. There is one exampel in the reference where they use peracetic acid and isolate the free base, thats all I wanted. I give you a "Mole snack" chenbeier.

Maybe this helps.
It is a old german paper.

At chapter 1.4.1 Peressigsäure peracetic acid is decribed for the oxidation of amins:

Just curious, what was wrong with using hydrogen peroxide or mcpba?

mcpba can be removed by doing a sodium thiosulfate wash to quench it all to the benzoic acid followed by a bicarb wash.

Peracetic acid, is volatile, somewhat more dangerous, and less reactive than mcpba

Then its probably no problem with m-CPBA. Peracetic acid is easie to messure with syringe, reaction is done in 2min in my case. Thanks for the reference wildfyr, I give you a mole snack.
In my case I make N-oxide wich is very polar, partially water-soluble så I use DCM, the salt of benzoic acid could be soluble in in DCM, at least partially. In the referance they make epoxide.
