Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2.5 Grams of sodium acetate was added at 30° C. to a mixture of 3-allyl-4-methyl-pent-4-en-2-one (5.0 g) and dichloromethane (100 ml), and then a 9% peracetic acid solution (153 g) was added dropwise thereto over 1 hour. After stirring at 30° C. for 4 hours, the reaction solution was treated in the same manner as in Example 3 to obtain 1.20 g of pure 3-allyl-4-methyl-4,5-epoxy-pentan-2-one.
