A combination system of ethyl cyanoformate and hydrogen peroxide was found to epoxidize olefins in a stereospecific manner at room temperature. Asymmetric epoxidation was observed with menthyl cyanoformate/hydrogen peroxide system.
A reagent combination system, tetracyanoethylene-30% hydrogen peroxide, was found to epoxidize olefins efficiently in acetonitrile at room temperature in a stereospecific manner with retention of the configuration of the double bond.
