Question

59)
Which of the following isomer will undergo Epoxide formation easily
OH
OH
A) Isomer 1
B) Isomer 11
C) Both A and B
D) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Epoxides are an important class of compounds in organic synthesis, because nucleophilic ring opening takes place easily in an SN2 pathway with inversion of configuration at the reacting carbon center. The driving force of the high reactivity is the inherent strain of the three-membered heterocycle. A variety of 1,2-difunctionalized compounds with two contiguous stereogenic centers are, thus, provided in a single step reaction of epoxides. Therefore, a number of methods have been developed for the synthesis of optically active epoxides, including catalytic asymmetric methods.
