ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Structure of a New Chiral Oxaziridine from (3‐Oxo‐camphorsulfonyl)imine.

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract Oxidation of the camphor derivative (I) by magnesium monoperoxyphthalate affords the novel title compound (II) with an oxygen atom inserted in the cyclohexane moiety of (I). The structure of (II) is elucidated by an X-ray analysis (space group P212121 with Z = 8) and by NOE measurements in solution, since this compound is a potential chiral oxidation agent. The structure of (II) does not change in solution. The formation of (II) as well as the reaction pathways for the oxidation of (I) by peracids such as e.g. MCPBA are discussed.
