Benzene → HCID 24972838, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.8 kg (50 mol) of diallyl maleate were reacted with 28.9 kg of a 21.8% strength solution of perpropionic acid in benzene (70 mol) at a reaction temperature of 60° C. in a manner analogous to that described in Example 1. After a reaction time of 8.5 hours, the percarboxylic acid conversion was 97.2%. The conversion of diallyl maleate was 88.3%. Allyl glycidyl maleate was formed with a selectivity of 45.8% and diglycidyl maleate was formed with a selectivity of 44.7%, in each case based on the diallyl maleate reacted.
