REACTION OF 4-SUBSTITUTED BENZALDEHYDES AND ACETOPHENONES WITH CHLOROACETONITRILE

Under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis or in homogeneous solution of potassium tert-butoxide the title compounds give stereoisomeric mixtures of substituted 2,3-epoxy nitriles III and IV.Alkaline hydrolysis of epoxy nitriles IV afforded the corresponding 2-arylpropanals in low yields.On treatment with methanol and potassium carbonate, epoxy nitriles III and IV were converted into epoxy esters in good yields.
