Chapter 12, Problem 12.16P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The stereoisomers formed when the given alkene is treated with mCPBA are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: In presence of peroxide, alkenes are oxidized to epoxide. This reaction is known as epoxidation. The weak pi bond of alkene and weak OO bond of peroxide are broken and two new CO bonds are formed. Breaking of bonds and formation of bonds takes place in single step. mCPBA is called meta-chloroperoxybenzoicacid. Epoxidation is a syn addition. It is a stereospecific reaction.
