An improved procedure for the epoxidation of methyl cinnamate derivatives and production of acid sensitive epoxides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608003584

By using a biphasic epoxidation system, unreactive methyl cinnamate derivatives were epoxidized at higher rates, and epoxides that decomposed in the presence of m-chlorobenzoic acid (mCBA) to diol ester opening products under standard conditions were obtained in fair to excellent yields.
