m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 86735266, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.8 g of p-ethylallylbenzene was added to 5.9 g of m-chloroperbenzoic acid dissolved in 70 ml of chloroform and the mixture was allowed to stand at about 5° C for 4 days. The resulting mixture was washed with sodium hydroxide solution, Mohr's salt solution, then water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the concentration was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 1.8 g (yield 43%) of p-ethylallylbenzene oxide having a boiling point of 144° to 143° C/38 mmHg as oily substance.
