Abstract
A fast and efficient procedure is proposed for the epoxidation of electrophilic alkenes, the structures of which resemble the vitamin K class, in ionic liquids as solvents and using aqueous basic solutions of hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Yields of epoxides ranging from very good to almost quantitative are observed for all the substrates analysed.Keywords
