Write out the arrow-pushing mechanisms for trans-stilbene reacting with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) to form the epoxide
Added by Leslie H.
Step 1
The oxygen-oxygen bond in DMDO is weak, and upon interaction with trans-stilbene, it can lead to the formation of a cyclic intermediate. The oxygen atoms in DMDO will be involved in the electrophilic attack. Show more…

Dimethyldioxirane (DMDO), whose structure is shown below, is another reagent commonly used for alkene epoxidation. Write a mechanism for the epoxidation of ( $Z$ )- - -butene by DMDO, including a possible transition state structure. What is the by-product of a DMDO epoxidation?
3.(8 points) Dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) can be used to convert alkenes into epoxides (oxiranes). Draw the mechanism of the epoxidation reaction of (Z)-but-2-ene with DMDO.
