The intramolecular cyclization of aryl groups to tertiary epoxide position was investigated, and the results were used to test the applicability of Baldwin's rules to this specific class of reactions.As a probe into mechanism of reactions studied earlier, the cyclizations of some meta-substituted 1,2-epoxy-5-phenylpentanes were examined to determine positional selectivities.The data obtained were compared with those of other studies, and comments are made on the reaction mechanism.
