Abstract:
The title compound, C12H20N4O, undergoes a phase transition on cooling. The room-temperature structure is tetra-gonal (P43212, Z' = 1), with the meth-oxy-bornyl group being extremely disordered. Below 213 K the structure is ortho-rhom-bic (P212121, Z' = 2), with ordered mol-ecules. The two independent mol-ecules (A and B) have very similar conformations; significant differences only occur for the torsion angles about the Cborn-yl-Ctetra-zole bonds. The independent mol-ecules are approximately related by the pseudo-symmetry relation: xB = -1/4 + yA , yB = 3/4 - xA and zB = 1/4 + zA . In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the tetra-zole groups, forming a pseudo-43 helix parallel to the c-axis direction. The crystal studied was a merohedral twin with a refined twin fraction value of 0.231 (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...

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.
