Synthesis of α,β-epoxyesters by homolytically induced decomposition of derivatives of ethyl 2-(1-hydroperoxyethyl)propenoate
Abstract
Decomposition of small amounts of tert-butyl peracetate at 110 °C in benzene solutions of derivatives of ethyl 2-(1-hydroperoxyethyl)propenoate afforded α,β-epoxyesters in good yields.
