Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (70% pure, 4.2 g, 17 mmol) in 40 mL of chloroform was added methallyl phenyl ether (2.5 g, 16.87 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours then worked up by pouring into ether and sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was washed with sodium bisulfite, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give 2.3 g of 1,2-epoxy-2-methyl-3-phenoxypropane.
