4,4'-Bis[(E)-(2,3-diiodo-prop-2-en-1-yl)-oxy]biphen-yl
Abstract:
Iodine adds across both triple bonds of 4,4'-bis-(prop-2-yn--yl-oxy)biphenyl, yielding the 4,4'-bis-(2,3-diiodo-all-yloxy)biphenyl title compound, C(18)H(14)I(4)O(2); the 2,3-diiodo-ally-oxy substituents have the I atoms in an E configuration. In the biphenyl portion of the mol-ecule, the aromatic rings are inclined by 37.8 (2)°.

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...
