Abstract

Aliphatic epoxides of the formula: ##STR1## can be prepared in a technically efficient manner from the corresponding olefins by means of perpropionic acid in a benzene solution. The benzene solution can also be 1.5 weight percent of hydrogen peroxide, 1.5 weight percent of water and about 800 ppm of mineral acid.
