Procedure

There were added 13.68 parts of a 50% aqueous hydrogen peroxide to a refluxing mixture of 3.92 parts of tetrachloroacetone, 11.58 parts of cyclooctene and 149 parts of chloroform. Water was removed continuously as it was formed, over a period of 4 hours of heating. The removed water was then added to the reaction mixture. The organic phase was then separated from the aqueous phase. Based on VPC analysis there was obtained an 83% yield of cyclooctene oxide.
