Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to an improvement in the process for the preparation of an oxirane compound by a process comprising the steps of (a) oxidation of a hydrocarbon to produce an organic hydroperoxide and (b) reacting the hydroperoxide with an olefinically unsaturated compound to produce the oxirane compound. The improvement with which this invention is concerned resides in the use of citric acid to minimize iron-catalyzed decomposition of the organic hydroperoxide without adversely affecting the reaction between the hydroperoxide and the olefinically unsaturated compound.
