Rq. Sun et al., SELECTIVITY OF THE EPOXIDATION REACTION O F DIMETHYLDIOXIRANE WITH CARBON-CARBON DOUBLE-BONDS IN SOME NATURAL-PRODUCTS, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 18(4), 1997, pp. 571-573
The acetone solution of dimethyldioxirane was prepared with caroate(KH
SO5) and acetone. This solution can be kept at low temperature(-20 deg
rees C) for days. It is much convenient to use the oxidant for the epo
xidation of carbon carbon double bonds in some unsaturated natural pro
ducts. Five unsaturated compounds were oxidized to the corresponding e
poxides with dimethyldioxirane and the reaction selectivity was discus
sed.
