Example 3 Epoxide 1 Preparation in the Presence of a Solvent and a Phase-Transfer Catalyst An appropriately sized three-neck round bottom flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermocouple with display, nitrogen inlet, condenser, and drying tube in a heating mantle. The following materials were charged into the flask: epichlorohydrin (1340 g, 14.48 mol, 1132 mL, 4.0 eq.), powdered potassium carbonate (1000 g, 7.24 mol, 2.0 eq.), and tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (61 g, 0.18 mol, 0.05 eq.). The mixture was stirred to an even slurry. Further, 2-ethoxyphenol (500 g, 3.92 mol, 459 mL, 1.0 eq.) in methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (500 mL) were charged to the reaction mixture. The flask was heated to 45° C. for 48 hours with stirring. The reaction for checked completeness by HPLC. The starting material had Rt 8.875 minutes, product had Rt 10.025 minutes, intermediate had Rt 10.852 minutes, and an impurity had a Rt 13.975 minutes. The reaction was considered complete when a combined total of <5% of the starting material and intermediate were present in the reaction mixture. The contents were diluted with MTBE (1 L) and filtered the mixture through a glass fiber filter pad to remove insolubles. The organic mixture was washed with brine (3×800 mL) and the solution treated with charcoal and magnesium sulfate for 30 minutes. The solution and concentrate were filtered on a rotoevaporator at 35° C. The residue was co-evaporated with toluene (2×1 L). The product was an orange oil. 698 g, 99.3%, HPLC: 88.1%
