Reaction Steps

Following the procedure of Example 14, 3-tert-butoxy-1-chloro-2-propyl 2-chloroethyl carbonate (from the reaction of 3-tert-butoxy-1-chloro-2-propanol with 2-chloroethyl chloroformate) is heated in the presence of tetrabutylphosphonium bromide to produce tert-butyl glycidyl ether and ethylene dichloride as the principal reaction products.
