Synthesis of (+/-)-Safrole Oxide

5-Bromo-1,3-benzodioxole (5) on reaction with n-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran followed by treatment with epichlorhydrin and subsequent quenching by aq.NaOH furnishes a mixture from which 5-oxiranylmethyl-1,3-benzodioxole (2) (safrole oxide) and 5-bromo-4-oxiranylmethyl-1,3-benzodioxole (10) have been isolated and fully characterised.The formation of 2 and 10 clearly indicates that in the reaction of 5 with n-butyllithium, 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyllithium (7) and 2-bromo-5,6-methylenedioxyphenyllithium (12) are generated.
