| Abstract: | Ethylglycidate (1), is a useful intermediate which can be used in several reactions involving epoxide ring opening with the introduction of an ester function and in co-polymer chemistry (1,2). Emmons and Pagano (3) described the preparation of I by epoxidation of ethyl acrylate with peroxytrifluoroacetic acid in 54% yield. |
