Abstract

Abstract1,1,2‐Triphenyl‐2‐tolylethylene is oxidised by chromic oxide in acetic anhydride medium to give 1,2‐epoxy‐1,1,2‐triphenyl‐2‐tolylethane with fission products. A tentative explanation of the stability of such epoxides is given. Aqueous chromic acid oxidation brings about oxidative fission of the double bond. The ultra‐violet absorption spectrum of triphenyl(tolyl)ethylene is determined.
