Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.15 g of p-[(3-methyl-2-butenyl)oxy]-α-propargyloxy-toluene is dissolved in 40 ml of methylene chloride and cooled to 0°C. (ice-bath cooling). 1.5 g of 80% by weight m-chloroperbenzoic acid is added portionwise to this mixture and the solution is thereafter stirred at 0°C. for 2 hours. The mixture is worked up as follows: diluted with 350 ml of methylene chloride; washed with ice-cold 1-N caustic soda; washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution; dried over sodium sulfate; and evaporated. By chromatography on Kieselgel, there is obtained p-[(2,3-epoxy-3-methylbutyl)oxy]-α-propargyloxy-toluene; B.P. 120°-123°C/0.1 mmHg.
