Abstract

Rearrangement of 4-substituted styrene oxides with acidic zeolite catalysts in the presence of polar solvents at room temperature gives the corresponding 4-substituted phenylacetaldehydes in high yields. The procedure has been applied successfully to the rearrangement of disubstituted epoxides. The zeolite can be easily recovered, regenerated by heating and reused.
