Abstract Some organoselenium compound ( 1 ) were tested as catalysts for the oxidation of styrene to phenyloxirane ( 2 ) with hydrogen peroxide. Bis(2, 4‐dinitrophenyl) diselenide ( 12 ) was found most effective. A convenient method for the synthesis of phenyloxirane and its polysubstituted analogs was elaborated.
