Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00512806

Diastereomeric α,β,α',β'-diepoxy ketones and the products of their condensation with acetone were synthesized by oxidation of cinnamoyloxiranes with alkaline hydrogen peroxide.It is shown that the acidic hydrolysis of 2-methyl-1,2,4,5-diepoxy-3-pentanones
