摘要

Abstract 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.
