Procedure

A solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (43.5 g, 151 mmol) in chloroform (250 ml) was treated with 4-phenyl-1-butene (20 g, 151 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and washed with sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfite, and saturated sodium chloride. The solution was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to afford 3,4-epoxybutylbenzene (100%).
