Participants

Reaction Steps

5.4 g of o-benzyl-1-allylphenol was added to 600 ml of chloroform solution containing perbenzoic acid prepared from 26.4 g of benzoyl peroxide and the mixture was allowed to stand at about 5° C for 4 days. The reslting mixture was washed with sodium hydroxide solution, water, Mohr's salt solution, then saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to obtain the residue which was distilled under reduced pressure, and there was obtained 4.1 g (yield 70.1%) of o-benzyloxyallylbenzene oxide having a boiling point of 158° to 160° C/5 mmHg as colourless oil.
