Epoxidatsioon
Epoxidatsioon is a chemical reaction that converts an alkene into an epoxide. An epoxide, also known as an oxirane, is a three-membered ring containing an oxygen atom. This reaction is a type of oxidation.
The most common method for epoxidization involves the use of peroxy acids, such as peroxyacetic acid or
Another important method for epoxidization is the Sharpless epoxidation, a stereoselective reaction that is particularly useful
Epoxides are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. The strained three-membered ring is susceptible to nucleophilic attack,
