Abstract

The synthesis of certain phenyl-substituted derivatives of the isomeric trans-P-chlorostyrene oxides (6) and a-chlorostyrene oxides (7) are reported. The kinetics of rearrangement of 6 (X= p-CH3, H, p-Br, m-C1, p-NO,) to phenylchloroacetaldehydes (12) in CC14 buffered by Na2HP04 and 7 (X= p-CH3, H, p-NO,) to w-chloroacetophenones in CC14 were determined by following the rates of disappearance of the a-chloro epoxide and formation of the a- ...
