EPOXIDATION D'ALDEHYDES ET DE CETONES PAR UN PROCEDE DE TRANSFERT SOLIDE-LIQUIDE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)85819-0

The condensation reaction of trimethylsulfonium iodide with variously functionalized aldehydes and ketones in the presence of solid potassium hydroxide in acetonitrile leads to the selective formation of the corresponding epoxides in high yields.The method used calls upon a solid-liquid transfer process.
