Reaction Steps

2,3-Divinylethylene oxide was prepared according to E. L. Stogryn et al., J. Org. Chem., 29, 1275 (1964). This compound (60 g, 0.625 mole) was mixed with d-limonene (2 g), tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (0.6 g), water (0.6 g) and hexafluoroacetone (108 g, 0.65 mole) in a 360 ml Shaker tube. The tube was sealed and was heated at 80° C./1 h4, 100° C./1hr and 120° C./6 hrs. The product mixture unloaded from the tube was distilled to give the desired product 30 g as a clear, colorless liquid. Bp. 50° C./30 mmHg. The structure was supported by its NMR spectroscopic data.
