Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1 was followed for the epoxidation of 5.2g (0.02 mole) of furoic acid, 3-(4-methyl-3-cyclohexenyl)butyl ester using 4.2g (0.02 mole) of 85% m-chloroperbenzoic acid in 150 ml of methylene chloride. Obtained following distillation was 3.7g of pure furoic acid, 3-(3,4-epoxy-4-methylcyclohexyl)butyl ester as a clear, colorless liquid with a boiling point of 156°-161°C. (0.10mm). (See Table I).
