Abstract:
IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 1-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one], C(19)H(20)O(5), the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 26.88 (5)°. One of the meth-oxy groups is twisted slightly away from the plane [C-O-C-C torsion angle = -12.8 (3)°] while the others are almost co-planer [C-O-C-C torsion angles = -3.2 (3), 2.6 (3) and -3.6 (3)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions. A weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action occurs.

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...
