(a)
Interpretation: A starting material and reagents used to form following epoxide needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Preparation of epoxide-
Peroxy acids generally used in this process are MCPBA and peroxyacetic acid. Formation of epoxide via peroxy acid us a stereospecific process thus, cis substituents in alkene (starting material) remain at cis to each other in the epoxide (product). Similarly, trans substituents in alkene remain at trans to each other.
(b)
Interpretation: A starting material and reagents used to form following epoxide needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Preparation of epoxide- Epoxides can be prepared using peroxy acids. Alkenes are starting material in the preparation of epoxides with peroxy acids. Here, general reaction is represented as follows:

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
