Reaction Steps

A 250 ml round bottom flask was charged with 21 ml HI (55% aqueous solution) and cooled to 0° C. Via an addition funnel, 20 grams of styrene oxide in 80 ml of diethylether were added over a one hour period. Diethylether (45 ml) was added and the water phase was separated. The leftover organic solution was dried with Na2SO4 and evaporated. Thirty-eight grams of a faint yellow solid were obtained having a melting point of 71-72° C.
