Chapter 12, Problem 12.48P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

How the given epoxide can be produced from an alkene is to shown.

Concept introduction:

An epoxide can be produced from an alkene using a peroxyacid (RCO3H), also called a peracid. Treatment of an alkene with a peroxyacid (or peracid) produces an epoxide. The reagent MCPBA, a peroxyacid, can form an epoxide in a one-step reaction with an alkene. The stereochemistry that describes the C=C bond remains the same in the product.
