“…The products were separated by preparative GLC. One of these products was identified as methyl trans-2,3epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (trans-5h) by comparing its NMR 50 data with those in the literature and on the basis of the following data: a colorless liquid: 1 H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.25-2.15 (m, 6H), 2.90 (dd, J ) 8.98, 5.86 Hz, 1H), 3.21 (m, 1H), 3.41(d, J ) 3.90 Hz, 1H), 3.73 (s, 3H); 13 C NMR (CDCl3) δ 16.81, 23.69, 23.89, 40.61, 51.86, 51.90, 52.17, 173.73; MS (EI, 70 eV) m/z 156(M + , 0.5), 141(3), 125(28), 124 (16), 113(26), 100(42), 97 (53), 96(83), 95 (19), 87 (35), 79 (58), 71(100), 70 (25), 69 (47), 68(73), 67 (49), 59 (27), 58 (30), 57(10), 55 (57), 41 (49); calcd for C8H12O3: 156.18.…”
