Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products that is expected to be formed when the given compound is treated with MCPBA has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Ether are compounds that contain an oxygen atom that is sandwiched between two R groups.  The R groups may be alkyl, vinyl or aryl.

Epoxides are compounds that have an oxygen atom in the ring.  They are prepared from alkenes on treatment with a peroxy acid.  The general scheme can be given as,
