Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-1-tetralone (2.9 g), epichlorohydrin (10 ml) and potassium carbonate (2 g) was heated under reflux in acetone (10 ml) for 24 hr. The hot mixture was filtered and evaporation of the filtrate in vacuo gave 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-2,2-dimethyl-1-tetralone as a yellow gum (3.2 g, 94%).
