Hydrogen Peroxide → 1,2-Epoxycyclooctane

Participants

Reaction Steps

The solid mixed phase after extraction in Example 1 was dried under reduced pressure for about 12 hours. 0.110 g (1.00 mmol) of cyclooctene was added to the solid mixed phase after drying under reduced pressure, and stirred well. Further, 0.10 mL (0.90 mmol) of 31% aqueous hydrogen peroxide was added and stirred well. Then, the mixture was allowed to stand still at 25° C. for 24 hours. Thereafter, a colorless solid of epoxycyclooctane was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. The epoxide yield was 83%.
