Question

Experiment Questions What is an epoxide and how is it useful with respect to synthesis design? • What are typical reagents used for epoxidation? • What is the mechanism for epoxidation? Must stereospecificity be considered? Experiment Techniques • Use of sodium bisulfite wash to remove excess peroxy acid from reaction mixture. Introduction By now you are well aware that the product of previous experiment (reaction of cyclohexanol and acid) is an alkene. You should also be storing key reactions of alkenes in your brain for ready access in order to be successful in organic chemistry lecture and to make lab easier. (Spider diagrams are a useful tool for this. See the previous experiment and the Review of Reactions in your lecture text.)

Answer 1

e perald is used as, epoxidation of alkene. reagent for 4.5 / мео он Have known as a part Hero Nach - Hal How we learn how o > Honor Hooch Sorso vode R-COOH @ oxygen 6 is added to alkene from peraid. cy clohexene ring is being oxidised here. As oxygen is adding to alkene. ©= when bubbles are coming from reaction it means it is generati energy that means this reaction is exothermic . @ As oxygen is adding to alkene is as likely to occur in single step with the transition state incorporating all the event like. bond formationd breaking Stereochemistry is always syn.iedokrom one side only. es In NMR the two syn. Hydrogens are appear to be chemically equivalent I will appear at same ppm. . 4. By giring the bathroated Natt og solution wash to the organic dayer that contains desired product along with acid by poudut By the wash of satt. NaHCO₃ 1? the aid by product will go in aqueous layer. And therefor in organic day you will get. peke epoxide product.
