25. About 5% of the total reactants volume was present in the reaction vessel at any one time.
26. The heat of reaction was determined to be -42 kcal/mole for dichloroacetophenone to produce a typical mixture of chlorohydrin 2a and oxirane 8a via the co-feed route. Reactions that formed largely 8a seemed to be more exothermic.
27. On a kilolab scale (221) using a batch process, the yields from 4a were 40-45%.
28. Sozzani and coworkers [23] have demonstrated the value of polyethylene glycols as good solvents for both organic substrates and inorganic salts, in particular potassium salts. Although a wide variety of chemistry is possible in these solvents[24], a literature search indicated the field has been but little exploited. Polyethylene glycol of average molecular weight 300 possessed an attractive combination of solubility, viscosity, toxicity, and cost within our process, and was chosen as the co-solvent. [14] Other potassium bases, such as bicarbonate, hydroxide, bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, and methoxide produced inferior results. Since charging the potassium salt of triazole in place of t-butoxide produced very similar results, it could be assumed that the triazole anion would be both sufficiently basic and nucleophilic to drive the two reactions to 9a.
