15. Phenazine 1 (0.314 g, 1 mmol) in a solution of dichloromethane (7 mL) was treated at room temperature with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) (1.72 g, 10 mmol) added in small portions. The reaction was followed by TLC. After the usual work up, the reaction product residue was submitted to column chromatography over silica gel and eluted with mixtures of hexane/ethyl acetate of increasing polarity to furnish compounds 2-4. Compound 2 was eluted with a mixture of hexane/ethyl acetate (100:1) and was recrystallized from acetone: the total yield of 2 in pure form was 27%. The two more polar products of the oxidation reaction, 3 and 4, were isolated in yields of 13% and 35%, respectively.
