23.5 g (3 equivalents) "PROXITANE 4002" (Trade Mark: 36-40% (w/w) peracetic acid in acetic acid) were added to 9.8 g (35.1 mmols) 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3,3-dimethyl-2-methoxycarbonylcyclopent-1-ene prepared as described in Example 1 (f) in 90 ml trichloromethane. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 3 hours and then extracted twice with 50 ml aliquots of trichloromethane, backwashed once with 50 ml dilute aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and twice with 50 ml aliquots of saturated aqueous sodium metabisulphite solution, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and flashed to give 12 g of a pale yellow oil which crystallised on cooling. Trituration in 30/40 petroleum gave 5.8 g 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1,2-epoxy-3,3-dimethyl-2-methoxy-carbonylcyclopentane as a white crystalline solid, m.pt. 86°-87° C. Yield: 56%.
