Abstract

The preparation of α-nitroepoxides from nitro olefins and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of base is reported and the behaviour of this new chemical species towards selected nucleophiles, acids and reducing agents is described. Mass spectral data is also presented. ... ☆ A preliminary account of some aspects of this work has appeared: H. Newman and RB Angier, Chem. Comm. 369 (1969).
