Fast generation of epoxides from the corresponding homoallylic and allylic steroidal olefins was developed by using magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate (MMPP) as oxidant suspended in acetonitrile (CH3CN) at reflux temperature. The protocol involves the use of a safe readily available oxidant along with an easy work-up, which renders the process very efficient. Selective 4,5- and 5,6-epoxidations
