50 - 046Carbodiimide-Promoted Epoxidation of Olefins with Dilute AqueousHydrogen Peroxide. — A combination of aq. H2O2 and carbodiimidesis found to promote the efficient epoxidation of various olefins in the presenceof either weak acid or mild base. This new epoxidation process offers severaladvantages such as simple and mild experimental procedure, readily availableand economical reagents compared to conventional epoxidation procedures. —(MAJETICH, G.; HICKS, R.; Synlett (1996) 7, 649-651; Dep.
