A process is provided for the epoxidation of olefins with percarboxylic acid in a reaction mixture consisting of an aqueous phase and an organic phase, the percarboxylic acid being formed in situ in the aqueous phase from hydrogen peroxide and a carboxylic acid or a carboxylic anhydride, and the olefins being dissolved in an organic solvent in the organic phase, wherein the epoxidation is carried out in several steps, each step being carried out with a fresh aqueous phase and the aqueous phase being separated off after each step.
