Abstract:
The salts, 2-methyl-5,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydroisoxazolium methylsulfates comprising various substituents at the C-3 carbon atom were subjected to transformations. The structure of applied compounds permitted to monitor the effect of this factor on the transformation course of the 2-isoxazoline ring. The nucleophilic addition of cyanide anion to the selected salts enabled the obtaining of a next heterocyclic system of changed physicochemical and biological properties in comparison to the starting 2-isoxazolines. The diastereoselective hydrolysis of the cyanide group in 2-isoxazolidines by the bacteria strain Rhodococcus rhodochrous PCM 909 leads to the obtaining of a racemic mixture of the trans-hydroxyacid. The introduction of new functional groups into the heterocyclic ring made these compounds attractive objects for further chemical and microbial transformations and to study their biological activity.

The reaction begins with transferring a proton from the acid catalyst to one of the hydroxyl groups, producing an oxonium ion.
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
