Catalytic isomerization of β-epoxides

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    β-Epoxides having an alkyl, phenyl, or cyclohexyl group in the α-position undergo transformations in two directions over a Pt-C catalyst in the vapor phase at 250°: isomerization with opening of the ring at the C-O bond adjacent to the substituent, and breakdown into formaldehyde and the corresponding olefin.

  2. 2.

    The aldehydes formed as a result of isomerization under the given conditions are decarbonylated to the corresponding hydrocarbons.
