To an ice-cold (5°), stirred solution of the dioxepin (II) (12.81 g, 0.1 mole) in aqueous t-butanol (50%; 50 ml) adjusted to pH 6.0 with dilute sulfuric acid, was added t-butyl hypochlorite (11.3 g, 0.105 mole), while the pH was maintained at 6.0. The reaction mixture was allowed to rise to room temperature and stirred for 4 hrs with protection from light. Sodium bisulfite (200 mg) was added to the reaction mixture, followed by 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide to bring the pH to 12. The reaction mixture was heated at 100° for 1 hr and then cooled. The upper t-butanol layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with t-butanol (3×20 ml). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2CO3). Solvent removal, followed by fractional distillation, gave the epoxide product (III) as a colorless oil in ≅80% yield.
