Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Why the given epoxidation reaction favors the C=C on the left is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The reagent MCPBA, a peroxyacid, forms an epoxide in a one-step reaction with an alkene following the mechanism of an electrophilic addition reaction. The electron rich nature of the C=C bond makes the reaction faster. If there are electron donating groups present, the C=C bond becomes electron rich in nature.
