Description

Five years back, I speculated about the mechanism of the epoxidation of ethene by a peracid, concluding that kinetic isotope effects provided interesting evidence that this mechanism is highly asynchronous and involves a so-called  "hidden intermediate".  Here  I revisit this reaction in which a small change is applied to the atoms involved.
