a

-
a
compound

carbons.
This
reac:on
is
both
regioselec-ve
(OH
adds

the
more

and
an--
stereoselec-ve
(OH

Peracids
react
with
alkenes
to
give
epoxides,
three
membered
rings
containing
one
oxygen.
The
reac:on
is
concerted,
and
the
stereochemistry
of
the
reactant
alkene
is
preserved
in
the
product.
During
the
reduc:on,
the
alkene
may
rearrange
on
the
catalyst
surface
to
an
isomeric
alkene.
Reduc:on
of
this
alkene
can
give
products
which
are
not
those
which
would
come
from
pure
syn
addi:on
to
the
star:ng
material.
Alkenes
can
be
reduced
with
hydrogen
gas
and
soluble
metal
complexes,
called
homogenous
catalysts.
The
metal
and
ligands
bound
to
the
metal
can
be
chosen
to
give
ne
control
over
the
reduc:on.
Radioac:ve

was
obtained
by
reduc:on
of
the
alkene
over
tri:um
gas
and
Wilkinsons
catalyst,
chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I).
These
condi:ons
selec:vely
reduced
