One gram of 4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopent-2-en-1-one was dissolved in 20 ml of methanol, and 10 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide was added at room temperature. Then, with ice cooling, 3 ml of a 2 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added slowly. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was post-treated in the same way as in Example 1, (1). The resulting crude product was chromatographed on a thin layer plate with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (=7/3) to afford 730 mg of 2,3-epoxy-4-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)cyclopentan-1-one in a yield of 84%. The product had the following spectral data.
