Abstract
The reaction of benzaldehyde with methyl chloroacetate catalyzed with magnesium methoxide gave beside the expected methyl 2,3-epoxy-3-phenylpropanoate (I) also comparable amounts of methyl 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-3-phenylpropanoate (II). The condensation was accompanied by a competing disproportionation of benzaldehyde giving methyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol. The course of the condensation reaction is discussed.
