ChemInform Abstract
Trimethylsulfonium bromide (II) is employed in the conversion of the ketones (I) or the aldehydes (IV) into the oxiranes (III) and (V) respectively. Only p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (IVb) does not react under the usual conditions; after longer reactions times it is partly transformed into anisaldehyde (VI) which yields the corresponding epoxide.
