Benzoyl Peroxide → HCID 86735273, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 6.3 g of p-phenoxyallylbenzene was added 45 ml of chloroform solution containing perbenzoic acid prepared from 11 g of benzoylperoxide, and the resulting mixture was allowed to stand at about 5° C for 5 days. The thus obtained solution was washed with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, Mohr's salt solution, then water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to obtain the residue. This was chromatographed over a silica gel, and eluted with chloroform, and there was obtained 2.7 g (yield 40%) of p-phenoxyallylbenzene oxide as an oily substance.
