Abstract

Ultrasound (20 kHz)-assisted epoxidation of unsaturated fatty esters with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) in water was successfully carried out in less than 30 min. Epoxidation of unsaturated fatty esters containing an internal ethylenic system was more readily accomplished than with substrates containing a terminal ethylenic bond. The rate of epoxidation of the same unsaturated fatty esters using magnesium monoperoxyphthalate in aqueous ethanol was much slower than reactions with MCPBA.
