Procedure: A mixture of 11 g (0.04 m) of 2,2'-dichloro-α,α'-epoxybibenzyl and 15 g (0.22 m) of imidazole is heated at 160° for 11/2 hours. The reaction is cooled, diluted with water, and extracted with ether. The combined ether extracts are washed with water, then saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over MgSO4. Solvent is evaporated to give 12 g of a gummy solid, mp 62°-68°. is heated at 160° for 11/2 hours The reaction is cooled extracted with ether The combined ether extracts are washed with water saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over MgSO4 Solvent is evaporated
