Synthesis of Epoxides via Epoxidation with mCPBA and Halohydrins

Synthesis of epoxides is a useful synthetic procedure that you might need to use in your course. In this tutorial I'll discuss the two main methods of the epoxide synthesis: epoxide formation via epoxidation of alkenes with mCPBA and other peroxy acids, and formation of epoxides via halohydrins.

00:26 Epoxidation of Alkenes
02:34 How to Draw Epoxides
04:58 Cyclization of Halohydrins

    Hi Victor, I would certainly be interested in learning a bit more about the differences between the two epoxide reactions. Or if you have any recommendations for materials that I could read, that would be very helpful as well 🙏

    Noted! I didn't want to overload this video with details since it's not going to be relevant for 99% of students, but I'll certainly add this topic for the future to-do list. I don't thing there's a concise source, so you'd have to pull bits and pieces from different sources. Unless, of course, you wanna read a whole book on epoxidation (and I know of a couple). But that's what I'm for lol and I'm happy to do it since I know where to look for this info. I'm also planning on more advanced topics in the future like, for instance, Sharpless epoxidation.

    Hello Victor , do you happen to have a video on polymerization? If not do you know of any good places to look for this? Thank you.

    I don't have any polymerization videos (yet!). But I have those on my to-do list for the future. I also don't keep tabs on many other chemistry channels, so there maybe some out there that have covered polymers in good details, but I don't know any from top of my head. It's kinda one of those topics that's always under the radar for most chemistry content creators as not even every organic chemistry class covers those to begin with. Same thing with in-depth radical chemistry. I know of only 2 US schools from top of my head that covers anything beyond a simple radical halogenation, hydrohalogenation, or radical polymerization.
