Epoksidoiminen
Epoksidoiminen is a chemical reaction that involves the conversion of an alkene into an epoxide. An epoxide, also known as an oxirane, is a three-membered cyclic ether characterized by a ring containing one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms. This reaction is a crucial transformation in organic chemistry, leading to the formation of valuable intermediates and products.
The most common method for epoxidation involves the use of peroxy acids, such as meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid
Epoxides are highly reactive compounds due to the inherent strain in their three-membered ring. This reactivity
