Reaction Steps

2-Cyano-5-chlorophenol (3.0 g), epichlorohydrin (6.0 g) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (4.2 g) were heated with stirring in ethanol for 2 hours. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give 3.1 g of 1-(2-cyano-5-chlorophenoxy)-2,3-epoxypropane.
