Chapter 12, Problem 12.79P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Dihydroxylation occurs by syn or anti addition, is to be determined using the given method.

Concept introduction: In presence of peroxide, alkene is oxidized to epoxide. This is known as epoxidation. This is a syn addition. The weak pi bond of alkene and weak OO bond of peroxide are broken and two new CO bonds are formed. Breaking of bonds and formation of bonds takes place in a single step. In the opening of epoxide ring, the nucleophile attacks from the backside of CO bond.
