Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3mmol of 1-octen-3-ol, 15mmol of benzhydrol, 0.3 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 0.0015 mmol of cobalt (II) acetate, 0.6 mmol of hexafluoroacetone trihydrate, and 3 ml of trifluoromethylbenzene was stirred at 60° C. under an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 24 hours. Gas chromatographic analysis of products in a reaction mixture revealed that 1-octen-3-ol was converted, at a rate of 43%, into 1,2-epoxy-3-octanol (yield: 40%).
