Chapter 21, Problem 21.77P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for formation of given epoxide X from cyclohexanone using a sulfur ylide is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Corey-chaykovsky reagent, also known as sulfur ylide, is used to synthesize epoxides. Just like any Wittig reagent, sulfur ylides also good intermediates in organic compound synthesis. A sulfonium salt is treated with butyllithium to form sulfur ylide. A sulfur ylide react with a carbonyl compound to form an epoxide.
