Physical Data: mp 92–94 ◦ C. Solubility: soluble in CH2 Cl2 , CHCl3 , 1,2-dichloroethane, ethyl acetate, benzene, and ether; slightly soluble in hexane; insoluble in H2 O. Form Supplied in: white powder, available with purity of 50%, 85%, and 98% (the rest is 3-chlorobenzoic acid and water). Analysis of Reagent Purity: iodometry.2 Purity: commercial material (purity 85%) is washed with a phosphate buffer of pH 7.5 and dried under reduced pressure to furnish reagent with purity >99%.3 Handling, Storage, and Precaution: pure m-CPBA is shock sensitive and can deflagrate;4 potentially explosive, and care is required while carrying out the reactions and during workup.5 Store in polyethylene containers under refrigeration. Epoxidations of alkenes with m-CPBA are usually carried out by mixing the reactants in CH2 Cl2 or CHCl3 at 0–25 ◦ C.9 After the reaction is complete the reaction mixture is cooled in an ice bath and the precipitated m-chlorobenzoic acid is removed by filtration. The organic layer is washed with sodium bisulfite solution, NaHCO3 solution, and brine.10 The organic layer is dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. Many epoxides have been purified chromatographically; however, some epoxides decompose during chromatography.11 If distillation (caution: check for peroxides12 ) is employed to isolate volatile epoxides, a trace of alkali should be added to avoid acid-catalyzed rearrangement. Alkenes having low reactivity (due to steric or electronic factors) can be epoxidized at high temperatures and by increasing the reaction time.13 The weakly nucleophilic α,β-unsaturated ester (5) thus furnishes the epoxide (6) (eq 2).13b When alkenes are epoxidized at 90 ◦ C, best results are obtained if radical inhibitor is added.13a For preparing acid-sensitive epoxides (benzyloxiranes, allyloxiranes) the pH of the reaction medium has to be controlled using NaHCO3 (as solid or as aqueous solution),14 Na2 HPO4 , or by using the m-CPBA–KF9a reagent. m-CPBA, CH2Cl2 reflux, 4.5 d Ph Original Commentary CO2Et A. Somasekar Rao & H. Rama Mohan Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India (2) 92% CO2Et (5) Functional Group Oxidations. The weak O–O bond of m-CPBA undergoes attack by electron-rich substrates such as simple alkenes, alkenes carrying a variety of functional groups (such as ethers, alcohols, esters, ketones, and amides which are inert to this reagent), some aromatic compounds,6 sulfides, selenides, amines, and N-heterocycles; the result is that an oxygen atom is transferred to the substrate. Ketones and aldehydes undergo oxygen insertion reactions (Baeyer–Villiger oxidation). Organic peroxy acids (1) readily epoxidize alkenes (eq 1).1b This reaction is syn stereospecific;7 the groups (R1 and R3 ) which are cis related in the alkene (2) are cis in the epoxidation product (3). The reaction is believed to take place via the transition state (4).8 The reaction rate is high if the group R in (1) is electron withdrawing, and the groups R1 , R2 , R3 , and R4 in (2) are electron releasing. Ph O (6) Regioselective Epoxidations. In the epoxidation of simple alkenes (2) (eq 1), due to the electron-releasing effect of alkyl groups the reactivity rates are tetra- and trisubstituted alkenes > disubstituted alkenes > monosubstituted alkenes.1a High regioselectivity is observed in the epoxidation of diene hydrocarbons (e.g. 7) having double bonds differing in degree of substitution (eq 3).15 Epoxidation takes place selectively at the more electron-rich C-3–C-4 double bond in the dienes (8)16 and (9).17 m-CPBA, CH2Cl2 rt, 15 min 90% (7) O O O H O R O (1) R1 R3 R1 O R3 + + (3) O (1) R2 R4 (2) R2 R4 (3) 86% 4% Avoid Skin Contact with All Reagents 2 m-CHLOROPERBENZOIC ACID Br 4 3 1 2 1 3 2 idation of (17) the ratio of axial:equatorial attack is 86:14;22 for the alkene (18) the ratio is 75:25.23 O O 75% 4 SO2Ph Ph (8) O (9) p-CF3C6H4 Diastereoselective Epoxidation of Cyclic Alkenes. π-Facial stereoselectivity (75% anti) is observed in the epoxidation of the allyl ether (10a) since reagent approach from the α-face is blocked by the allylic substituent; a higher diastereoselectivity (90% anti epoxidation) is observed when the bulkier O-t-Bu is located on the allylic carbon (eq 4).18 Due to steric and other factors, the norbornene (11) undergoes selective (99%) epoxidation from the exo face.19 In 7,7-dimethylnorbornene (12), approach to the exo face is effectively blocked by the methyl substituent at C-7, and (12) is epoxidized from the unfavored endo face, although much more slowly (1% of the rate of epoxidation of 11).19 The geminal methyl group at C-7 is able to block the approach of the peroxy acid even when the double bond is exocyclic to the norbornane ring system (for example, epoxidation of (13) proceeds with 86% exo attack, while (14) is oxidized with 84% endo attack). Folded molecules are epoxidized selectively from the less hindered convex side; m-CPBA epoxidation of the triene lactone (15) takes place from the α-face with 97% stereoselectivity.20 The triepoxide (16) has been obtained in 74% yield by epoxidizing the corresponding triene;21 in the epoxidation step, six new chiral centers are introduced stereoselectively as a result of steric effects.

Henbest showed that in the absence of severe steric interference, allylic cyclohexenols are epoxidized stereoselectively by organic peroxy acids to furnish cis-epoxy alcohols;24a a large number of cis-epoxy alcohols have been prepared by epoxidizing allylic cyclohexenols.7 A mixture (5:1) of labile bisallylic alcohols (19) and (20) was reacted with m-CPBA (eq 5); from the reaction mixture diepoxide (21) was isolated as a single isomer.25 Epoxidation of (Z)-cyclooct-2-en-1-ol (22) furnishes exclusively (99.8%) the trans-epoxide (23) (eq 6).24b Similar observations have been made subsequently.26 This result, as well as the stereoselectivity observed during the epoxidation of other allylic alcohols, both cyclic and acylic, has been rationalized on the basis of transition state models.24,27 O O O OR (10) 86% (17) BnO m-CPBA, CCl4 70 °C, 2 h + O O OR O Cbz2N O O 46% O Cbz2N (19) (5) O (20) 1:3 1:9 H OH (21) H OH m-CPBA, CH2Cl2 0 °C, 24 h (CH2)4 88% 86% O (CH2)4 81% (6) H H H H (22) (12) O Cbz2N 99% (11) OH (4) OR (a) R = Me (b) R = t-Bu OBn (23) Stereoselectivity has been observed during the peroxy acid epoxidation of some homoallylic and bishomoallylic alcohols,28 and the epoxidation of the allylic carbamate (24) is syn stereoselective (eq 7).28 O 84% (14) (13) Me2N O m-CPBA, CH2Cl2 0 °C O 3% H O 97% H O O O (24) O Me2N O O Me2N O + O O (7) O O (15) (16) Unhindered methylenecyclohexanes and related compounds show a moderate preference for axial epoxidation.

Since acyclic systems normally are not rigid, high stereoselectivity has been observed m-CHLOROPERBENZOIC ACID OTMS only when special structural features are present. The presence of functional groups (OH, NH, CO, and ether) which form hydrogen bonds with the peroxy acid can facilitate stereoselective epoxidations by imparting rigidity to the system. High anti selectivity (>95%) has been observed in the epoxidation of both (25) and (26) each of which has a branched substituent adjacent to the carbon carrying the silicon group.29 High anti selectivities have been noted during the epoxidation of (27) (95%),30 (28) (96%),31 (29) (95%),32 and (30) (96%).33 High syn selectivity has been observed in the reactions of (31) (98%)33 and (32) (93%).34 When the allyl alcohol (28) reacts with m-CPBA, in the transition state the reagent is hydrogen-bonded to the ether oxygen as well as to allylic hydroxyl.

Epoxides of enol silyl ethers undergo facile ring opening and only in rare cases have stable epoxides been isolated.36 α-Hydroxy enones have been prepared in two steps from α,β-unsaturated ketones; the enol silyl ether (33) prepared from the corresponding enone is treated with m-CPBA and the resulting product reacts with triethylammonium fluoride to furnish an α-hydroxy enone (34) (eq 8).37 This method has also been used for the preparation of α-hydroxy ketones,38 α-hydroxy acids,39 and α-hydroxy esters. As illustrated in (eq 9), aldehydes have been converted to protected α-hydroxy aldehydes in a similar fashion.40 Epoxidation of enol silyl ethers according to eq 10 has been used in synthesizing α,α -dihydroxy ketones from methyl secondary alkyl ketones; the silyl ether (36) furnishes the corresponding dihydroxy ketone quantitatively upon brief acidic treatment.41 Peroxy acid oxidation of furfuryl alcohols yields pyranones according to eq 11.42,43 Furfurylamides also react similarly.44 Baeyer–Villiger Rearrangement. Reaction of a ketone (37) with peroxy acid results in oxygen insertion to furnish the esters (38) and (39). This reaction, known as the Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement, has been reviewed recently.45 Cyclobutanones undergo very facile rearrangement with peroxy acids, as well as with Hydrogen Peroxide in presence of base. The cyclobutanone (40) reacted readily with m-CPBA to furnish regio-, stereo-, and chemoselectively the lactone (41) (eq 12),38b which was elaborated to gingkolide. Baeyer–Villiger reaction of (40) with H2 O2 /base furnished a γ-lactone which was the regioisomer of (41). When 1,2,3,8,9,9a-hexahydro-1-methyl-3a,8-methano-3aHcyclopentacycloocten-10-one, which has double bonds as well as a keto group, was treated with m-CPBA, exclusive alkene epoxidation was observed.46 Ketones having stannyl groups on the β-carbon undergo a tin-directed Baeyer–Villiger reaction.47 O R1 R2 R1 H O MeO t-Bu OH (40) O R1 O (38) (37) O R2 O m-CPBA CH2Cl2 10 min O O (39) O MeO R2 O (12) 94% t-Bu OH (41) Avoid Skin Contact with All Reagents 4 m-CHLOROPERBENZOIC ACID Oxidation of Nitrogen-containing Compounds. Primary amines are oxidized by m-CPBA to the corresponding nitro compounds. One of the intermediates formed in this reaction is the corresponding nitroso compound, which reacts sluggishly with the reagent. High yields are obtained by carrying out the reaction at a high temperature (∼83 ◦ C) and increasing the reaction time (3 hours). For example, n-hexylamine is oxidized to 1-nitrohexane in 66% yield.48 When a substrate having the amino group at a chiral center was oxidized, the nitro compound was formed with substantial (∼95%) retention of configuration.49 m-CPBA oxidation of the sulfilimine (42) prepared from 2-aminopyridine, furnished 2-nitrosopyridine (43) (eq 13).50 Ph N 6 C5H11 O OH O 6 HO PhO2S m-CPBA CH2Cl2 –50 °C, 2 d CO2Et 70–80% (44) (17) PhO2S (51) (13) The cleavage of the N,N-dimethylhydrazone (52) proceeds rapidly in the presence of m-CPBA, even at low temperatures, to furnish the ketone (53), without isomerization to the more stable cis isomer (eq 18).58 N t-Bu NMe2 O t-Bu (52) (18) (53) Oxidation of Phosphorus-containing Compounds. m-CPBA oxidation of the phosphite (54) is stereospecific; it furnishes the phosphate (55) (eq 19).59a However, aqueous Iodine is the reagent of choice for the oxidation of nucleotidic phosphite triesters.59b m-CPBA oxidation of thiophosphate triesters furnishes the corresponding phosphate esters with retention of configuration.60 O (14) (54) ONBn2 m-CPBA, DMF –63 °C, 30 min 95% Th O P(t-BuO)2 m-CPBA CH2Cl2 25 min 86% O Th DMTrO (19) O P(t-BuO)2 O (55) (45) Reaction of m-CPBA with the isoxazole (46) furnishes the nitrone (47) (eq 15).55 m-CPBA oxidation of (−)-isoxazole (48) and subsequent workup results in the formation of the (−)cyclopentanone (49) (eq 16);56 the initially formed nitrone is hydrolyzed during workup.

To effect epoxidation, the most commonly used reagents are m-CPBA, Peracetic Acid (PAA), and Trifluoroperacetic Acid (TFPAA). TFPAA is not commercially available. m-CPBA is more reactive than PAA and is the reagent of choice for laboratory-scale reactions. For large-scale epoxidations the cheaper PAA is preferred. The highly reactive TFPAA is used for unreactive and heat-sensitive substrates; its reactivity permits the use of low reaction temperatures. The recently introduced reagent magnesium monoperphthalate (MMPP) (see Monoperoxyphthalic Acid) is more stable than m-CPBA and has many applications.4 Epoxidations of hydroxyalkenes have been carried out with Butyl Hyroperoxide/vanadium (TBHP/V). m-CPBA epoxidation of (Z)-cyclooct-2-en-1-ol is anti selective; with TBHP/V it is cis selective.24b Similar differences have been noticed in some acyclic systems.27c Since the directing effect of the hydroxyl group is larger in the TBHP/V system it is a better reagent for hydroxyl-directed regioselective epoxidations of polyunsaturated alcohols;73 the TBHP/V system also exhibits higher hydroxyldirected selectivity in highly hindered allylic alcohols.74 m-CPBA epoxidation of hindered alkenes takes place selectively from the less hindered side; the epoxide of opposite stereochemistry can be prepared by a two-step procedure involving initial preparation of bromohydrin, followed by base treatment.28 For the epoxidation of extremely unreactive alkenes38b and for the preparation of epoxides which are highly susceptible to nucleophilic attack, Dimethyldioxirane is the reagent of choice.75 Electron-deficient alkenes such as α,β-unsaturated ketones are usually oxidized with Hydrogen Peroxide/base.

Oxidative cleavage of a Merrifield resin-bound sulfoximine afforded the corresponding sulfone in high yield (eq 27).76 The reaction proceeds by the formation of the N-oxide that reacts with a second equivalent of the peracid to lead to the sulfone and the polymerbound nitroso derivative.

Baeyer–Villiger Reaction of Fluoroketones. The Baeyer– Villiger reaction of ketones in the presence of peracids is an important methodology to access esters and lactones via a skeletal rearrangement of the peracid/ketone adduct. The stereoselectronic requirement for correct antiperiplanar alignment of the migrating group and the O–O bond of the leaving group (RCOO− ) are well established. However, the presence of strongly electronwithdrawing α-substituents may influence the regioselectivity of the C–C bond migration. For example, substituted 2-fluorocyclohexanones can give the two regioisomers depending of the relative configuration of the stereogenic centers and on the solvent used (eqs 42–44).88 Avoid Skin Contact with All Reagents 8 m-CHLOROPERBENZOIC ACID O O m-CPBA t-Bu m-CPBA, rt, 12 h NaHCO3, CHCl3 HO F F F OMe O O F O O + F (42) HO t-Bu OMe O t-Bu (46) O F F 29:71 (>90%) Baeyer–Villiger Reaction of Hemiacetals.

The reaction is often much cleaner than that performed on the cyclic ketone and it has been shown to involve the formation of a cyclic oxocarbenium ion intermediate.91 O t-Bu m-CPBA F NaHCO3 O O F O O + F OH (43) t-Bu HO t-Bu OBn O CHCl3 CCl4 91:9 (99%) 93:7 (85%) CH3CN 85:15 (99%) OH Me m-CPBA, CH2Cl2 O Me O OBn Me Me Me Me HO 65% O Ph (47) m-CPBA Ph NaHCO3, CHCl3 F F O + Ph O Ph Ph O Ph O (44) F 71:29 However, the Baeyer–Villiger reaction of α-trifluoromethylcycloalkylketones show the reversal in regioselectivity (eq 45).89 Lewis Acid Catalyzed Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation. Although m-CPBA is one of the most commonly used reagents for carrying out the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of ketones, its reactivity can be increased by adding Lewis acids. Recently, it has been shown that the addition of catalytic amounts of scandium(III) triflate,92 triflic acid, or bismuth(III) triflate93 significantly increases the yield and rate of the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of ketones. Oxidative Cleavage of Cyclic Acetals. Benzylidene acetals are cleaved to hydroxyesters upon treatment with a mixture of 2,2 -bipyridinium chlorochromate and m-CPBA (eq 48).94 O CF3 m-CPBA, TfOH CH2Cl2, rt, 1 h H O O HN CrO3Cl H BzO O OMe m-CPBA, rt, 36 h Ph + O (45) CF3 100% OMe O CF3 O N O O H OMe OMe HO H OMe OMe 70% (48) 0% The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of acyclic 4-methoxyphenyl substituted fluoroketones provides an expedient access to αfluoroesters (eq 46).90 The regioselectivity of the carbon-carbon bond migration is highly dependent not only on the presence of an aryl substituent but also on the presence of the p-methoxy group. A list of General Abbreviations appears on the front Endpapers Chlorination of Dichlorovinyl Ethers. A powerful chlorinating agent that successfully converts dichloroalkenes to tetrachloroalkanes is generated with m-CPBA in dichloromethane (eq 49).95 The reaction presumably proceeds by the in situ formation of chlorine via a radical mechanism.
