This reaction occurs when a compound is converted into an epoxide. One reaction that comes to mind is when a double bond reacts with a peracid such as MCPBA to form an epoxide ring on that bond (it then becomes a single bond).

What Epoxidation Procedureof with CH3CN as an solvent?

One common method for epoxidation using CH3CN as a solvent is the Sharpless epoxidation, which involves using a catalytic amount of a titanium-based catalyst and a chiral ligand. Another option is the m-CPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) epoxidation where the epoxidizing agent is added to the reaction mixture in CH3CN. It is important to ensure compatibility of the solvent with the reagents and conditions of the chosen epoxidation procedure.


What is an example of a catalyst in a sentence?

This compound is an active homogeneous epoxidation catalyst in its own right.


Types of reaction mediated by microorganism in Microbial transformation?

Microorganisms can mediate various types of reactions in microbial transformation, such as biotransformation (conversion of one chemical compound to another), biodegradation (breakdown of organic compounds into simpler substances), biosynthesis (production of complex molecules from simpler compounds), and fermentation (conversion of organic substances into simpler products such as alcohols and organic acids).
