Benzene → Allyl glycidyl fumarate

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.8 kg (50 mol) of diallyl fumarate were reacted with 26.18 kg of a 22% strength solution of perpropionic acid in benzene (64 mol) at 60° C. in a manner analogous to that described in Example 1. After a reaction time of 6.8 hours, a percarboxylic acid conversion of 96.8% resulted. The conversion of diallyl fumarate was 90%. Allyl glycidyl fumarate was formed with a selectivity of 46.2% and diglycidyl fumarate was formed with a selectivity of 42.3%, in each case based on the diallyl fumarate reacted.
