Chapter 18.5, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The observation that reaction of cis-2-butene with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid yields an epoxide different from that obtained by reaction of the trans isomer is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The formation of epoxides when an alkene is treated with peroxyacids involves the transfer of an oxygen atom of the peroxyacid to the double bond in the alkene with syn stereochemistry through a one step process without intermediates.

To explain:

The observation that reaction of cis-2-butene with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid yields an epoxide different from that obtained by reaction of the trans isomer.
