Answer

a.


b.

c.

Step by step solution

01

Oxidation of alkene with mCPBA

Oxidation (addition of oxygen) reaction of alkenes occurs when alkenes are treated with mCPBA.

Weaker O-O bond in peroxyacid is broken, and two C-O epoxide bonds are formed using the double bond of alkene and lone pair of peroxyacid

02

Epoxidation reaction

Double bonds of alkene are cleaved, and C-O epoxide bonds are formed

a.

Action of mCPBA - Epoxide formation

b.

Action of mCPBA - Epoxide formation

c.

Action of mCPBA - Epoxide formation
