The epoxidation of cis -4-( p -chlorophenyl)-5-cyanocyclohexene with m -chloroper-benzoic acid in diethyl ether yielded trans -4-( p -chlorophenyl)- trans -5-cyano-1, 2-epoxycyclohexane as the only product. Epoxidation of trans -4-( p -chlorophenyl)-5-cyanocyclohexene with m -chloroperbenzoic acid yielded cis -4-( p -chlorophenyl)- trans -5-cyano-1,2-epoxycyclohexane and trans -4-( p -chlorophenyl)- cis -5-cyano-1,2-epoxy-cyclohexane in ratio of about 7 to 3, respectively, when carried out in ether but in ratio of about 1 to 1 in 1,2-dichloroethane. The epoxides were characterized from the NMR spectra of the derived diols, mono-, and diacetates by taking advantage of the difference between the spatial 1,3-diaxial deshielding effects of hydroxyl and acetoxy groups. |
