Participants

Reaction Steps

30 g of Z-1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-phenyl-3-bromoprop-1-ene were refluxed with 23 of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in 500 ml of chloroform. When the reaction was complete, the chloroform phase was washed acid-free with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated down under reduced pressure. The residue gave 41.3 g (70.2%) of 2-bromomethyl-2-phenyl--(2-chlorophenyl)-oxirane, which was then further processed with triazole according to the Example below. II.
