Abstract

The reaction of perbenzoic acid with the vinyl ether, 2-methyl-1-ethoxy-1-phenylpropene (11), was shown to give the epoxyether, 1, 2-epoxv-2-methyl-l-ethoxy-l-phenylpropane(I), in 90% yield. LVith the alicyclic vinyl ether, 1-cyclohexenyl ethyl ether (VI), the benzoic acid formed in the initial reaction mixture reacted with the epoxyether to give the ketobenzoate (IV). Evidence is presented that the alcohol formed in this latter reaction further reacts with ...
