Dm. Gleave et al., A NEW METHOD FOR THE EPOXIDATION OF ALKENES IN THE PRESENCE OF TERTIARY AMINO-GROUPS, Synthetic communications, 27(14), 1997, pp. 2425-2432
A new one-pot method is described for the epoxidation of alkenes in th
e presence of tertiary amino groups. An improvement is made upon the e
xisting method as the use of acid is avoided and fewer steps are invol
ved.
