Procedure: The procedure of Experiment 1 was repeated employing 1.0 g of racemic styrene oxide, 4 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane, 2 ml of water, 596 mg of potassium cyanide, and 267 mg of tetrabutylammonium bromide. After 6 hours of heating at reflux, the reaction mixture was cooled and worked up extracting with methylene chloride. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated the desired product contaminated with the phase transfer catalyst. After 6 hours of heating at reflux the reaction mixture was cooled worked up extracting with methylene chloride
