Sonochemical epoxidation of cyclohexene in R-CN/H2O2 system

Ultrason Sonochem. 2006 Jul;13(5):443-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2005.04.010. Epub 2005 Aug 19.

Abstract

Cyclohexene is efficiently epoxidized by the R-CN/H2O2 system under ultrasonic irradiation. Different nitriles can be used to generate in situ the oxidizing peroxycarboximidic acids. Reduction of the organic solvent quantities and their replacement by water also gives good results.
