Summary
The reaction of some aromatic and aliphatic asymmetrical epoxides with polyetheyleneglycols was investigated in the presence of HClO4. The products of the addition were examined by 13C NMR. Some of the products were further converted into novel epoxides and tried for chemical behavior. Phenyl substituted-aromatic-asymmetrical epoxides just gave single addition products by following an Sn2 like mechanism whilst the aliphatic epoxy derivatives formed both the isomers of the addition products.
