Participants

Reaction Steps

4-t-butyl-2-epoxycyclohexane, an intermediate in the synthesis of 4-t-butylhydroxycyclohexyl methacrylate, is prepared by reacting a 4-t-butylcyclohexane with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in ethylacetate below 5° C. until mixing is complete, and then at room temperature for two hours. The reaction mixture is washed with aqueous NA2CO3, dried over MgSO4, and filtered. The theoretical reaction is: ##STR20##
