Epoxide formation [from alkenes]<\/h1>

Epoxide formation [from alkene] Definition:<\/h2>

Epoxides <\/b>or oxacyclopropanes <\/b>can be obtained by reaction so-called\u00a0epoxidation\u00a0<\/a>from alkenes with peroxy acids<\/b>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Epoxide formation [from alkene] Explained:<\/h2>

The most commonly used peroxy acids are meta<\/b>-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) and peroxyacetic acid.<\/p>

\"\"
This reaction is stereospecific<\/b>. If we start with cis-alkene we will obtain cis-epoxide. The same applies to trans-isomers.<\/p>
