47. The epoxidation was carried out under more basic conditions as compared to the one described in Ref. 9. The conversion was improved under the current reaction condition
48. The substituted cis-β-methylstyrenes were prepared by the Wittig olefination of substituted benzaldehydes and contained a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers
